The crispiest golden schnitzel topped with the most addictive Caesar you’ll ever have.
Ingredients:
For the Chicken Schnitzel
-2 chicken breasts, butterflied and flattened
-Seasoning: 2 tsp each paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper
-1 cup all-purpose flour
-2 eggs, whisked until smooth
-2 cups cornflakes, crushed into small pieces (not powder, small crunchy bits)
-Neutral oil, for shallow frying
For the Caesar Dressing
-1 large or 2 small heads of romaine lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces
-4 anchovy fillets or 2 tsp anchovy paste (optional but highly recommended)
-4 garlic cloves, minced
-5 tsp fresh black pepper (divided)
-2 tsp salt
-1 tbsp Dijon mustard
-1½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-1½ tbsp red wine vinegar
-2 tsp vinegar-based hot sauce (optional)
-½ lemon, juiced
-2 egg yolks
-1 cup neutral oil
-1 cup fresh parmesan cheese, finely grated
-Extra parmesan and black pepper, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Butterfly each chicken breast, then pound to an even thickness of about ½ inch. In a small bowl, mix all the chicken seasonings and sprinkle evenly over both sides, pressing it in so it sticks.
2. Set up three bowls: flour, whisked eggs, and crushed cornflakes. Dredge chicken in flour, then egg, then press into cornflakes until fully coated. Place on a plate and let sit for 10–15 minutes so the coating sticks.
3. On a cutting board, mash garlic, anchovies, 2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tsp salt into a rough paste. Transfer to a bowl and add egg yolks, Dijon, Worcestershire, hot sauce, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk until combined.
4. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the neutral oil until emulsified and thick. Add parmesan and remaining black pepper, then whisk until smooth.
5. Heat neutral oil to 350°F / 175°C, about halfway up the chicken. Fry schnitzel for ~4 minutes per side, spooning oil over top, until golden and cooked through. Remove and lightly salt.
6. Whisk dressing again, add romaine, and toss until evenly coated.
7. Plate schnitzel, top with Caesar salad, and finish with extra parmesan, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
