with roast potatoes and creamy cheese sauce
Originating in Austria, a schnitzel is a slice of meat usually thinned by pounding. Our version adds hazelnuts and rosemary to the crumb for a delicious and crispy dinner that's golden, fragrant, and filled with festive flavour.

- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Pick the rosemary leaves and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
- Pop the potatoes onto a large (lined) baking tray. Toss with half the rosemary, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.
- Spread out in a single layer. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
- Finely chop the hazelnuts.
- Surround the chicken with cling film or baking paper.
- Bash with the bottom of a pot until it’s 1-2cm thick. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Beat one egg (per 2P) in a bowl.
- Mix breadcrumbs, hazelnuts, remaining rosemary and ½ tsp salt in another bowl.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? This is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
- Dip the chicken into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's completely coated. Transfer to a clean plate.
- Place a large pan over high heat with enough oil to coat the bottom.
- Once hot, carefully lay the chicken into the pan and fry until golden-brown, 2-3 mins on each side. Adjust the heat if necessary.
TIP: You want the oil to be hot so the chicken fries properly—heat for 2-3 mins before adding the chicken.
- Transfer the chicken to a lined baking tray.
- Bake on the middle shelf until cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Discard the excess oil from the pan and give it a quick wipe (you'll be using it again).
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Return the now empty pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the garlic and fry for 30 secs. Stir in ½ tbsp flour (per 2P), then add the creme fraiche and 50ml water (per 2P).
- Bring to the boil, lower the heat and add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce starts to thicken, 1 min.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.
- When everything's ready, reheat the sauce if needed.
- Share the chicken schnitzels between plates.
- Serve the rosemary roast potatoes and salad leaves alongside, with the creamy sauce in a small bowl.
- Finish the salad with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
