Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, cut in half lengthways
  • 1 tsp salt flakes
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup plain/all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp garlic, freshly minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 300 ml thickened/heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or pasta, for serving
  • Steamed greens, for serving
  • 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken schnitzels with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and thyme, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  2. Dredge the seasoned chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken schnitzels until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic; sauté for one minute.
  5. Pour in chicken stock, scraping up browned bits, then stir in thickened cream, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce thickens, adjusting with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve schnitzels drizzled with sauce, paired with sides of mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or pasta, and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

Notes

Pounding the chicken ensures uniform cooking. Don’t skimp on seasoning the flour for extra flavor.
