Method
- Flatten the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of cling film using a rolling pin.
- Mix the breadcrumbs with the feta and fresh thyme leaves in a bowl. Season well.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, turning to coat, then coat in the breadcrumbs and transfer to a plate.
- Chill the schnitzels until you’re ready to eat, then heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the schnitzels, 1 or 2 at a time, for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden.
- Serve with lemon wedges, to squeeze over, buttery new potatoes and stir-fried greens, if you like.
