Chicken Schnitzel served with Creamy Mango Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 4 cups bread crumbs
• 2 mangos, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons mango jam
• ¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
• 2 shallots, chopped
• sea salt to taste

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and gently pound them with the smooth side of a meat mallet until they’re about 1/4-inch thick and even. Next, set up your dredging station: put the flour in one shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of water in another, and spread the bread crumbs out on a plate.

Step 2

Take each piece of chicken and coat it first in the flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally press it into the bread crumbs, making sure both sides are well covered. Lay the breaded chicken pieces on a plate while you prepare the sauce.

Step 3

For the sauce, toss the mangoes, cream cheese, heavy cream, and mango jam into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pop the sauce into the fridge to let it thicken up a bit while you cook the chicken.

Step 4

Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side, or until it’s golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5

Serve the schnitzel with a generous spoonful of the creamy mango sauce on top, then sprinkle with some chopped shallots and a pinch of sea salt for a nice finishing touch.
