Description

Chicken schnitzel is one of those dishes that is as perfect as perfect can get. The chicken breast is pounded to about 1/8-inch thick cutlets, which breaks down the natural meat fibres and makes for cooking that happens in a snap. This version does not look to change or update the heart of the dish, the chicken, but rather rethink some supporting accompaniments. Traditionally served with lemon wedges, parsley and mustard, you will find all of these components now in the carrot salad. Crispy but delicate shavings of carrot, whole leaves of parsley and a dressing punctuated by punchy grain mustard and bright lemon juice make it a perfect pairing for this classic German chicken dish.
