Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts without skin and bones
  • A cup of all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs gently beaten with 2 tablespoons of water
  • 4 cups of bread crumbs
  • 2 mangos, peeled and roughly chopped
  • A package of softened cream cheese (8 ounces)
  • A cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons of mango jam
  • ¼ cup of vegetable oil (or more if needed)
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • Sea salt to your liking

Step 1

Begin by laying the chicken on a stable surface and gently flattening it with the flat part of a meat mallet until it reaches a consistent thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 2

In one shallow dish, place the flour, in another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water, and spread the breadcrumbs on a plate.

Step 3

Start by coating each piece of chicken in flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally press it into the breadcrumbs, ensuring both sides are fully covered before placing them on a spacious plate.

Step 4

In a blender, blend together mangoes, cream cheese, heavy cream, and mango jam until you achieve a velvety sauce, then let it chill in the refrigerator to thicken.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat, and cook the breaded chicken until it turns a golden brown hue and the inside is no longer pink, which typically takes around 3 minutes per side.

Step 6

After the chicken is cooked, generously spoon the luscious mango sauce over it, and for the finishing touch, sprinkle chopped shallots and a pinch of sea salt as a garnish.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. To keep your succulent chicken schnitzel fresh for longer, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This prevents any moisture from seeping in and making the coating soggy.
  2. 2. For a burst of flavor every time you indulge, make sure to package the mango cream drizzle separately. This way, you can easily pour it over your schnitzel right before serving, keeping the flavors vibrant and enticing.
