Serves: 4

My combination of mustard and mayo give a this Middle Eastern inspired sandwich a moreish kick. For a really fast snack, make the schnitzels in advance and freeze, so you only need to prepare the salad. Swap in sourdough if you don’t have challah to hand – or a puffy pita.

Method:

  • To flatten the chicken, place between two sheets of baking parchment. Use a rolling pin and bash gently until they are evenly flattened. Heat oven to 200°C.

  • To make the schnitzels, place the breadcrumbs, matzah meal and beaten egg into 3 separate dishes.

  • Season the meat with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4 chicken breasts, flattened
4 tbsp rapeseed oil
