  • 4 small cabbages or 1 medium cabbage, shredded
  • 2 pieces carrots peeled and thinly sliced

  • 1 cup fresh cilantro or parsley leaves

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Parchment paper
  • Three mixing bowls
  • Tongs for flipping the chicken

Method
 

  1. Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thin cutlets and pound them flat using parchment paper.
  2. Set up a breading station with three bowls: mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in the first; beat eggs in the second; combine panko with seasoning in the third.
  3. Dip each chicken piece in flour, then egg wash, and coat with panko, pressing firmly.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. While the chicken rests, mix cabbage, carrots, jalapeños, and herbs in a bowl, then combine with a dressing of mayonnaise, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  6. Serve schnitzel hot with jalapeño coleslaw and lemon wedges for garnish.

Notes

For extra flavor, add grated Parmesan cheese to the panko mixture. Store leftovers separately; schnitzel lasts 2 days in the fridge, while coleslaw improves overnight. To maintain crispiness, reheat schnitzel in the oven instead of the microwave. Feel free to experiment with substitutes such as almond flour for a gluten-free option or Greek yogurt for a lighter coleslaw dressing.
