Air Fryer Chicken Schnitzel

 
A succulent tasty chicken schnitzel with a golden crumb, these are better than store bought.


And trust me, there are no leftovers!, Cerys devoured her one 🙋


Ingredients

2 chicken breast fillets
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp paprika
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup plain flour
olive oil spray

Method

1.  Cut both chicken breasts in half horizontally through the middle. Pat dry with kitchen towels.

2.  Place each chicken steak between 2 pieces of clingfilm. Using a mallet or rolling pin, pound chicken until even thickness, season on both sides with salt & pepper.

3.  Combine breadcrumbs with paprika, season with salt & pepper. 

4.  Dip both sides of each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in egg, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to coat.

5.  Preheat air fryer to 200°c for 3 minutes. Spray chicken with olive oil spray. Arrange half the chicken in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer. Cook for 12 minutes or until golden and cooked through, turning half way through, if breadcrumbs are a bit moist, cook for a further 2 minutes until they dry out (this can happen when the moisture from the chicken seeps through). Transfer to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm, repeat with remaining chicken.


Cut in half horizontally


Place between clingfilm and pound using a rolling pin or mallet.

Enjoy with salad, chips or mash.

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

  I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see  here  and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked  bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...

Corned Beef Stovies

Add onions and fry until golden. 3.  Add sliced potatoes, beef stock and crumbled oxo cube. Stir to combine ingredients well. Cover with lid, turn heat up to medium-high, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring every few minutes. Cook for 40-50 minutes or until potato is soft and tender. 4.  Using a potato masher, roughly break the potatoes into smallish pieces. Cut corned beef into small chunks. Add to potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and corned beef has brea...
