Crisp Chicken Schnitzel With Lemony Spring Herb Salad Food

CRISP CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH LEMONY HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Mince anchovies and garlic and mix with a large pinch of salt until you get a rough paste. Put it in bowl and whisk in the lemon zest, juice and another pinch of salt and some pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
• Place eggs in one shallow dish, bread crumbs in another, and flour mixed with cayenne and nutmeg in a third. Season chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1/8 inch oil in a large skillet. While oil heats, dip cutlets one by one into flour (shake off any excess), then into eggs (ditto) and finally into the bread crumbs, taking care not to handle chicken more than necessary (hold meat by ends).
• When oil sizzles when a pinch of bread crumbs is thrown in, add a chicken cutlet (or two if your skillet is large, leave plenty of room around them). Swirl pan so oil cascades over top of cutlet in waves. When bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes, flip and brown the other side, swirling pan (swirling helps create air pockets, giving you lighter schnitzel). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking platter or baking tray and sprinkle with more salt. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Toss salad greens and herbs with just enough anchovy-lemon dressing to lightly coat them. Divide salad on serving plates and top with schnitzel. Drizzle with more dressing and garnish with scallions.

AMAZINGLY TASTY AND CRISPY CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and garlic together in a bowl. Mix bread crumbs, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl.
• Heat 1/2 to 1 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). You can also use a deep fryer.
• Put chicken slices in the egg mixture and knead until fully coated. Press chicken in the bread crumbs until evenly coated.
• Working in batches, carefully place chicken in the hot oil using tongs and cook until no longer pink in the center and browned on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.

SPRING CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a small pot and cover with water. Season with salt, cover and boil until fork-tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and cool.
• Meanwhile, pulse the chives, tarragon, vinegar, yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a food processor. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and pulse to make a thick dressing.
• Toss the romaine, potatoes, chicken, cucumber, radishes and bell pepper with the dressing in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

CRISPY GARLICKY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts between two large sheets of greaseproof paper, and whack with the base of a large non-stick frying pan to flatten them to about 1cm thick.
• Tear the bread into a food processor, then peel, chop and add the garlic, and blitz into fairly fine crumbs.
• Pour the crumbs over the chicken, roughly pat on to each side, then re-cover with the paper and whack again, to hammer the crumbs into the chicken and flatten them further.
• Put the pan on a medium heat. Fry the crumbed chicken in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 3 minutes on each side, or until crisp, golden and cooked through.
• Slice, plate up, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, sprinkle with lemon-dressed rocket, and serve with lemon wedges, for squeezing over.

PERUVIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes about 20 minutes, until just tender. Drain, and place on a rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, pour the vinegar into a cup, and add the garlic and crush it into the vinegar with a fork. Allow to steep for 15 minutes.
• When potatoes have cooled, peel and slice 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
• Remove garlic from vinegar. Mash anchovies on a plate with 1 tablespoon of vinegar, then mix anchovies with rest of vinegar.
• Place vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl; whisk together. Stir in jalapeno peppers and scallions. Add sliced potatoes, and toss gently. Add mint and parsley, and toss again.

HERBED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Place chicken filets between two sheets of wax paper and pound with meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (or until it becomes too wide for the skillet you'll be using) - the thinner the better.
• Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs and salt and spread evenly on a large platter.
• Dredge filets first in the flour, then through the egg, which has been beaten with the milk.
• Coat filets with breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to really embed it into the meat.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil to frying temperature (medium-high flame).
• Cook 1 filet at a time, about a minute each side or until golden and crispy.
• Season with ground black pepper and sprinkle generously with fresh lemon juice.
• Note: turkey, pork tenderloin, veal, even beef can be substituted; the key is that the meat be pounded very thin, otherwise it spends too much time in the oil.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the chicken briefly under cool running water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken and cook 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and immediately place the pan in the oven. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when tested with an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, celery, celery leaves, red onion, herbs, celery seeds and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
• When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it into a 1/2-inch dice, add it to the mayonnaise mixture and mix well. If not serving immediately, transfer to the refrigerator to chill. Serve in avocado halves, if desired.
