Schnitzel Parmasana


You'll need,

Chicken Fillet (1 for each)
Bread crumbs
Plastic food bag
Rolling pin
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
Finely chopped tomatoes (3)
1/2 cup cheese
Flour



First you'll need to make your schnitzel. Place the chicken fillet into the plastic bag and roll it out. You want to thin the chicken but have it even at the same time. Once you're happy with the chicken prepare to crumb it.

For this you need a bowl with the milk and eggs mixed. A plate with flour spread on and a second plate with the bread crumbs. You start by coating both sides of the chicken in flour, then dip it into the egg wash and then into the bread crumbs. This goes straight onto your baking tray. Repeat this for each serving. Please remember to WASH HANDS and keep surfaces clean when working with raw chicken.

Pop into a pre-heated oven at 180C. After 15 to 20 minutes check the chicken. It will be firm to the touch when cooked. I always cut into it to be extra sure.

Once the chicken is done / almost done, pop on a layer of the chopped tomato. Be generous as the sweet taste is divine! :) On top of that layer grated cheese. You can put as much or a little as you like.

Pop it back into the oven or under the grill until the cheese turns golden.

It can be served on it's own for lunch, or with green beans and mashed potato for dinner. Even my 21 month old loves this.


**You can also make this with store bought crumbed chicken breasts which is what I did for the picture**
