Method
- Finely slice the fennel, then toss with the mayo, mustard and lemon juice. Season.
- Bash the chicken between 2 sheets of baking paper with a rolling pin until each breast is about 1cm thick. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs.
- Heat a shallow layer of oil in a large frying pan. When shimmering, cook the chicken over a medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until golden on the underside (see tip). Flip and repeat. Roughly chop the watercress and toss through the salad. Season, then serve with the schnitzels, with steamed potatoes and lemon wedges, if you like.
