Preparation

  1. Schnitzel

    • Whisk an egg with 150 ml of water until fully combined to make an egg wash.
    • Run a sharp knife along the length of each chicken breast and cut through until the breast can be folded out like a book, being careful not to cut all the way through. Lightly pound chicken breasts with the flat side of a meat mallet, wrapped with plastic wrap, until each breast is of an even, thin thickness.
    • In separate bowls, combine the seasoned flour, egg wash, and panko crumbs. Working one at a time, coat the breasts in seasoned flour, then in egg wash, and finally in crumbs. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
    • Deep-fry schnitzels until golden and cooked through, then drain on paper towels.

  2. Slaw

    • Place the cabbage, shaved fennel, a few fennel fronds, apple, and red onion in a large bowl.
    • Add olive oil and lemon juice and toss lightly to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  3. Gravy

    • Combine KNORR Golden Roast Gravy GF and warm water in a mixing bowl. Bring to a boil, whisking for 2–3 minutes or until thickened. Add the seeded mustard and apple cider and simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. To Serve

    • Schnitzel should be served with slaw and cider mustard gravy.
