A crisp chicken schnitzel is quick enough for a weeknight but still feels like a treat. Adding Roast Chicken Seasoning to the breadcrumbs builds savoury herby flavour into every golden mouthful, with no separate seasoning mix to measure.

Flattening the chicken evenly is the key: it cooks quickly and stays juicy while the crumb becomes crisp. Lemon and a peppery salad keep the finished plate fresh.

🧾 Ingredients

• 2 large skinless chicken breasts
• 50g plain flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 100g panko breadcrumbs
• 1½ tbsp Roast Chicken Seasoning
• 3 tbsp finely grated Parmesan, optional
• 4 tbsp rapeseed or sunflower oil
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• Rocket and tomato salad, to serve

🍴 Instructions

1. Put each chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper and gently flatten to an even 1cm thickness with a rolling pin.
2. Put the flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs into three shallow dishes. Mix the Roast Chicken Seasoning and Parmesan, if using, into the breadcrumbs.
3. Coat each chicken breast in flour, then egg, then the seasoned crumbs, pressing gently so they adhere.
4. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook one schnitzel for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Keep warm while cooking the second in the remaining oil.
5. Drain briefly on kitchen paper, rest for 2 minutes and slice if desired.
6. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and salad.

💛 Why This Recipe Works

Evenly flattened chicken cooks before the crumb can burn. Panko gives a lighter crunch, while the seasoning and optional Parmesan make the coating savoury all the way through.
