Ingredients

  • 2 large (about 700 g) skinless chicken breast fillets, trimmed of all visible fat
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • Black pepper, to season
  • 2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind

  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 500 g chat potatoes, halved

Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally. Place the chicken pieces between plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound to an even thickness.

Step 4

Lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake in a 220 °C oven (200 °C fan-forced) for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Turning schnitzels halfway through cooking time and spraying again with cooking spray.

Step 5

Meanwhile boil, steam or microwave potatoes and zucchini separately until tender. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl. Add parsley. Toss gently. Season with pepper. Serve chicken with vegetables and lemon wedges.
