Chicken Breast Schnitzel

The Gourmet Chicken Breast Schnitzel

A family classic, hand-prepared for the perfect crunch. Our Chicken Schnitzels start with premium, free-range Australian chicken breasts, which are expertly butterfly-cut and leveled to ensure even cooking. Each piece is then coated in our signature fine breadcrumb blend, designed to achieve that coveted golden shatter when fried, while keeping the lean breast meat incredibly moist and tender inside. It’s the ultimate "convenience meets quality" meal.

The Butcher’s Tip: The "Shallow Fry" Technique

For the best results, avoid the air fryer if you want that authentic, golden-brown finish. Use a wide frying pan and add enough neutral oil (like vegetable or sunflower) to just cover the bottom. Heat the oil until it shimmers. Fry the schnitzels for 3–4 minutes per side until the crumbs are deep gold.

The most important step: To prevent the breadcrumbs from becoming soggy or falling off, don't flip the schnitzel too early. Let that first side develop a firm, crisp crust before turning. Once cooked, rest the schnitzels on a wire rack rather than paper towels; this allows air to circulate and prevents the bottom from steaming and turning soft.

Bonus Butcher's Tip: The "Parmigiana" Upgrade

Turn your schnitzel into a pub-style "Parma" in minutes:

The Layering: Once your schnitzel is fried, top it with a spoonful of rich tomato sugo (napolitana sauce) and a thick slice of leg ham.

The Melt: Smother with a mix of mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

The Finish: Place under a hot grill for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and slightly charred.
