Preparation Steps
- Begin by placing chicken breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Once finished, pat the chicken dry with paper towels and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine freshly made breadcrumbs with finely grated Parmesan, lemon zest, chopped flat-leaf parsley, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk until smooth.
- Dust each chicken fillet lightly with plain flour, dip into the egg wash to coat, then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently.
- While the schnitzels chill, prepare the coleslaw by combining finely shredded savoy cabbage, grated carrot, and diced red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle in mayonnaise and mix well.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chilled schnitzels for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the schnitzels alongside the coleslaw, garnished with lemon wedges.

Notes
Chill schnitzels for 30 minutes before frying for better coating adherence. Avoid microwaving for reheating to maintain crispiness.
