Our Chicken Breast Schnitzels are made from tender chicken breast and coated in a fine white breadcrumb with a touch of parsley, ready to cook at home.
Each schnitzel is approximately 180–220 g, making it ideal for an easy weeknight dinner, a proper schnitty roll or as the base for a crispy homemade chicken Parma.
How to Cook Chicken Breast Schnitzel
For the best result, shallow pan-fry your chicken schnitzel until the crumb is golden and crisp and the chicken is completely cooked through.
Heat a frying pan with enough oil to cover the base, then cook the schnitzel on both sides until golden. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can lower the temperature and make the crumb less crisp.
Chicken should be cooked completely through before serving.
Butcher's Tip: Pan-frying gives you the best colour and crunch. An oven or air fryer can also be used, but if we're choosing purely on eating quality, pan-fried is king.
Making Chicken Parma?
These schnitzels are made for it.
The most important Parma rule is to cook the schnitzel completely before adding any toppings. Once it is golden, crisp and cooked through, add tomato sauce, ham and cheese, then return it to strong heat only long enough to melt and brown the cheese.
The correct order is:
Schnitzel → tomato sauce → ham → cheese
Use enough tomato sauce to cover the schnitzel like a pizza, but don't drown it. Too much sauce is one of the easiest ways to turn a crisp schnitzel into a soggy Parma.
