The Secret to a Great Chicken Breast Schnitzel

Chicken Breast Schnitzel

At McKays Family Butchers, the key to the perfect schnitzel starts with high-quality poultry. We use only fresh, premium chicken breast fillet, ensuring every piece is lean, tender, and flavourful. Our coatings come in four varieties to suit every taste:  plain, crunchy, southern style and garlic parmesan.

Meal Suggestions:  

Choose either the classic style plain or crunchy breadcrumb coated schnitzel for a simple family meal.  Serve it with a wedge of lemon and a side of mashed potatoes or chips.  Or, choose the classic or crunchy coated schnitzel to prepare as a burger on a fresh bun with lettuce, tomato and a dollop of mayo or aioli.  

Make a perfect Parma using the southern-style crumbed schnitzel, that has a bit of a kick!  Top your cooked schnitzel with napoli sauce, ham and melted cheese for a pub-style chicken parmigiana.

Choose the garlic parmesan crumb for a perfect schnitzel then slice and toss into a fresh garden or Caesar salad for a lighter meal.  

Tips for the Perfect Chicken Breast Schnitzel

Drain and Serve: Place the cooked schnitzel on a paper towel to drain excess oil, then serve immediately for the best texture.

Fry to Perfection: Heat your oil to the right temperature (around 175°C) and fry the schnitzel until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain that perfect crunch.
