Instructions
- For the Schnitzel: Place 1 chicken breast at a time between two sheets of baking paper and bash with a rolling pin until you reach around a 2cm thickness. In a food processor blitz the hazelnuts until crumbed, then mix with panko crumbs. In bowl 1, add the flour. In bowl 2, whisk together eggs and dijon mustard. In bowl 3, add the panko and macadamia crumb. Dust the flattened chicken with lashings of salt and pepper, then dip in bowl 1, 2 and 3. Pop in the fridge to chill and rest for 20-30 minutes.
- For the Salad: In a bowl, mix together the green beans, zucchini, green chilli and mint. Season with salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest and drizzle with honey and oil.
- To cook the schnitzel: Melt a generous knob of butter and a drizzle of olive oil in a non stick pan over a medium heat. Fry the schnitzel roughly 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked inside.
- Serve golden schnitzel alongside salad, mayo and some extra lemon wedges.
