Ingredients:
Instructions:

d. Press the chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring even coverage. Press gently to make sure the bread crumbs adhere well.
a. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
b. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the skillet. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
c. Transfer the cooked chicken schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Keep them warm.
a. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lemon juice until smooth.
b. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
a. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to combine.
b. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- For a crispier schnitzel, use panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
- You can make the slaw ahead of time and refrigerate it to let the flavors meld together.
- Don’t skip the lemon zest in the schnitzel; it adds a wonderful burst of citrus flavor.
- Toast the bread crumbs lightly before using them for added crunch.
- If you prefer a lighter slaw, substitute some or all of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
There you have it – a delicious Lemon and Herb Chicken Schnitzel with Summer Slaw that is sure to impress your family and friends. This dish is perfect for a quick dinner, lunch, or even a picnic. Enjoy the crispy texture of the schnitzel paired with the refreshing crunch of the slaw. Bon appétit!
