Lemon And Herb Chicken schnitzels

Ingredients (Serves 4)

4 chicken breasts fillets, trimmed
1/3 cup plain flour
2 eggs

2 cups fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs

1 lemon, rind finely grated
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons butter

extra-light olive oil, for frying

Method 

1. Combine flour and salt and pepper on a large plate. Lightly whisk eggs in a shallow dish. Combine breadcrumbs, lemon rind, parsley  in a separate shallow dish.
2. Lightly coat chicken in seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg then coat in breadcrumb mixture, pressing crumbs on with fingertips to secure.
3. Place 1 tablespoon butter in a large frying pan. Pour oil into pan until 1cm deep. Heat over medium-high heat until hot. Cook schnitzels, in batches, for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until golden. Drain on paper towel. Place on a baking tray in oven to keep warm while cooking remaining schnitzels.
