Cooking Steps
• Cut cucumber into half-moons. Thinly slice pear. Place chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper. Pound chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness, about 1cm-thick. • In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour, the salt, garlic & herb seasoning and a pinch of pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. • In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese (reserve some Parmesan for garnish!). • Dip chicken into flour mixture, followed by egg and finally in panko breadcrumbs. Set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • Cook crumbed chicken in batches, until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the schnitzel does not stick to the pan. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. • Top with spinach & rocket mix, cucumber and pear. Season and toss to combine.
• Divide pear-cucumber salad and Italian chicken cottoletta between plates. • Sprinkle over reserved Parmesan cheese. Top with flaked almonds. • Serve with dill & parsley mayonnaise. Enjoy!
