Instructions

Chicken Schnitzel

  • Slice the chicken breasts in half to create flat filets. On a cutting board, use parchment paper to cover the chicken breasts, then beat the chicken breasts with a mallet until flattened.
  • In a medium bowl, make your brine by combining, water, salt, sugar. Add the chicken breasts to the brine and let soak for about 15 minutes (while you’re prepping everything else!)
  • While the chicken is soaking, begin prepping your 3 coating stations. Flour, eggs & panko mixture
  • In a shallow plate combine the following: panko breadcrumbs, garlic salt, flaky salt, paprika, and sesame seeds.
  • In a separate shallow plate, add the all-purpose flour.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and add to a third shallow plate or bowl for the egg wash.
  • After the chicken has soaked in the brine, remove and pat down with a paper towel and begin to coat the chicken & repeat: flour, eggs, panko breadcrumbs.
  • Once all chicken breasts are coated, begin cooking each filet in an oiled cast iron skillet. (Oil should be about ⅛ inch deep).
  • Repeat this cooking process, remove from the pan and let cool for a few minutes before plating.

Cucumber Feta Salad

  • Prep & chop all salad ingredients beforehand and add all ingredients (except the feta cheese) into a large mixing bowl to combine.
  • Cut the Feta cheese into cubes and add slowly to the salad, then softly toss the salad, keeping the feta intact!
  • Enjoy!
