Crumbed Chicken Schnitzel with organic hemp oil and hemp seed
For this deeply flavoursome homemade crumbed chicken schnitzel recipe, you won’t need many ingredients. It’s quick, easy, and full of unique flavours that complement each other. Feel free to use this recipe as a base for protein on your next meal plan. You can even cook up some veggies, greens or toss a salad to pair well with the chicken.
There is a very special moment when you introduce the tang of a freshly squeezed lemon to the supple tenderness of a lightly seasoned chicken breast. The chicken flesh surrenders to the acidity of the lemon juice and allows itself to absorb the surrounding flavours of the seasoning.
Organic Hemp oil locks in the essence of various ingredients introduced to the recipe. When used in unison with organic hemp seeds to crumb the chicken breast, the crumbing process encapsulates the flavours even further. This semi-permeable shield preserves the taste of the chicken while allowing the organic hemp oil in to enhance the rich nutty, pan-fried tastes.
Gather the following ingredients and prepare the kitchen for this quick and delicious recipe.
Ingredients
- Chicken breast
- Organic hemp oil
- Hemp seeds
- Eggs
- Breadcrumbs
- Flour
- Salt & Pepper
- Fresh washed baby spinach
- halved lemon to finish
- Sliced avocado
Steps
STEP 1: Tenderise chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap until flat, 1-3cm thickness, depending on what you like. Don’t over-tenderise to the point where it falls apart.
STEP 2: Prepare your breading station with three parts – flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. For the eggs, lightly whip with a fork until thoroughly mixed.
Then, mix hemp seeds with your choice of breadcrumbing. Add seasoning and salt & pepper to the crumbing mix.
STEP 3: Dip chicken in flour, eggs, crumbing – in that specific order 2-3 times total, depending on coverage and thickness of crust you want.
STEP 4: Pan fry in organic hemp oil for 6-10 minutes or until thoroughly cooked and golden brown on each side.
STEP 5: Assemble baby spinach base on a plate, place chicken on top and drizzle with leftover pan oil. Finish the dish with a few drops of organic hemp oil and the juice of a small, halved lemon and sliced avocado.
STEP 6: Enjoy!
