My combination of mustard and mayo give a this Middle Eastern inspired sandwich a moreish kick. For a really fast snack, make the schnitzels in advance and freeze, so you only need to prepare the salad.
Method:
-
To flatten the chicken, place between two sheets of baking parchment. Use a rolling pin and bash gently until they are evenly flattened. Heat oven to 200°C.
-
To make the schnitzels, place the breadcrumbs, matzah meal and beaten egg into 3 separate dishes.
-
Season the meat with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Mix the mustard and mayonnaise together and spread over the raw chicken breasts.
-
Coat the chicken into the beaten egg followed by matzah meal. Then coat again in the egg, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Now they are ready for frying.
-
Heat a large frying pan with rapeseed oil.
-
Fry the chicken breasts until golden for about 3 – 4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, then transfer to a rack.
-
Place the rack of schnitzels into the oven for 10 minutes to complete cooking.
-
For the salad, combine the salad ingredients together.
-
For the dressing, add all the ingredients to a blender and whizz until smooth. Stir into the salad. Season to taste.
-
To assemble: spread a little red cabbage salad on one toasted challah slice, top with a schnitzel, cos lettuce leaf, 2 pickled cucumber slices, more red cabbage salad and the second slice of toasted bread.
