Directions

50 min.
1. Step

Start by preparing the chicken. Lay each chicken breast between two pieces of cling film and gently pound with a rolling pin until thin. This helps the chicken to cook evenly and absorb the seasonings better.

2. Step

Season the flattened chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Next, dredge the seasoned chicken in flour, followed by egg and panko breadcrumbs respectively.

3. Step

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, fry the breaded chicken in batches, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through. This usually takes around 4 minutes per side. Place cooked schnitzels on a wire rack to drain excess oil and keep them crispy.

4. Step

For the salad, toss the chopped Romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing till every leaf is coated well. I prefer making the dressing at home, but a good quality store-bought Caesar dressing works just as fine.

5. Step

Add the Parmesan cheese and croutons to the dressed lettuce and gently toss to combine.

6. Step

To serve, thinly slice the cooked chicken schnitzels. Lay the slices over the Caesar salad. Finish off with a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This brightens up the flavors and perfectly complements the savory chicken and Parmesan cheese.

7. Step

Enjoy your Chicken Schnitzel Caesar Salad immediately. It's best when served fresh and the chicken is still warm.
