Ingredients

600 g chicken breast (2 large breasts), or pork/veal schnitzel steaks
Salt and pepper
¾ cup plain flour
2 eggs, beaten
1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
Oil for shallow frying (about 1.5 cm depth)
Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

Slice chicken horizontally into 4 steaks. Place in a bag and pound to 8 mm thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Dredge in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing crumbs on.
Heat 1.5 cm oil in a large pan over medium-high until a cube of bread turns golden in 30 seconds.
Fry 2 schnitzels at a time, 3 minutes each side, until deep golden. Drain on a rack.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges (and chips, slaw or mash).

Tip: Panko is the crunch. Pound evenly so they cook through without over-browning. Do not crowd the pan or the crumbs go soggy.
