Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise to make 4 schnitzels
  • 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, steamed greens
  • 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken schnitzels with salt, pepper, sweet paprika, onion powder, and dried thyme, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
  2. Dredge each schnitzel in flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and unsalted butter over medium heat.
  4. Once hot, add the schnitzels, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and set them aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add more butter and minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the chicken stock, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard, stirring well to combine.
  8. Add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  10. Serve the schnitzels drizzled with the creamy sauce, accompanied by mashed potatoes or steamed greens, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs to the sauce, such as thyme or parsley. Let the chicken rest after frying to maintain juiciness.
