INGREDIENTS

4 chicken thigh fillets, trimmed
¼ cup cornflake crumbs
¼ cup plain flour
1-2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon chicken salt
1 teaspoon mild paprika
1 egg, lightly beaten
Vegetable oil, for shallow-frying
Salad, lemon wedges, to serve

  1. Place chicken thighs between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound chicken until 5mm thick.
  2. In a bowl, combine crumbs, flour, herbs, seasoning, salt and paprika. Mix well.
  3. Sprinkle crumb mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap.
  4. Dip chicken into egg. Toss in crumb mixture, shaking off excess. Place on a tray. Chill for 10 minutes.

  6. Serve schnitzels with salad and lemon wedges.
