What You’ll Need
For the Schnitzel:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Marinade spices (from your Spicecraft Butter Chicken Kit)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
-2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko, for that gourmet crunch)
- Oil for shallow frying
For the Butter Chicken Sauce:
- Spicecraft Butter Chicken Kit
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make It | Gourmet Made Easy
1. Prep the Schnitzels
- Pound chicken breasts to a uniform ½ inch thickness.
- Rub generously with the marinade spices from your kit. Let flavours soak in for 10–15 mins.
- Set up a crumbing station: flour, egg, breadcrumbs.
- Dip each piece in flour, then egg, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
2. Get the Golden Crunch
- Heat ½ inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry schnitzels 3–5 mins each side, until deeply golden and crispy.
- Drain on a wire rack for maximum crunch.
3. Craft the Butter Chicken Sauce
- Follow the kit instructions for a perfectly balanced butter chicken sauce.
- Let it simmer to develop deep, layered flavour. Stir in cream toward the end for extra indulgence.
4. Plate Like a Pro
- Place each schnitty on a plate.
- Spoon over the warm, luscious butter chicken sauce.
- Garnish with chopped coriander and a sprinkle of parmesan if you're feeling extra.
Chef’s Tips
- Even thickness = even cooking. Don’t skip the pounding step.
- Hot oil is key, it should sizzle gently when the schnitzel hits the pan.
- Let the sauce simmer, great flavour takes a little patience.
Flavour-packed. Crowd-pleasing. Surprisingly simple.
This is your next dinner hero, straight from your own kitchen.
