Method

  1. 1

    Place the shaved fennel in a large salad bowl and add the capers, olives, parsley, and orange segments.

  2. 2

    Whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, and orange juice to make a citrus‑mustard dressing, then toss the dressing into the salad.

  3. 3

    Lay the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking paper and pound them with a rolling pin until about 0.8 cm thick.

  4. 4

    Set up a breading station: put plain flour in one shallow dish, the whisked eggs in a second, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with finely chopped parsley in a third.

  5. 5

    Dredge each chicken piece first in flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb‑parsley mixture.

  6. 6

    Heat a generous glug of olive oil in a medium‑hot pan and fry the chicken schnitzel for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve the crispy chicken schnitzel alongside the fennel salad; it pairs especially well with mashed potatoes.

Tips while you cook

Pound chicken evenly
Pound the chicken breasts to about 0.8 cm thickness before breading.
Use a three‑station breading line
Set up separate dishes for flour, egg, and breadcrumb‑parsley.
Watch frying time
Fry the schnitzel 3–4 minutes per side in a medium‑hot pan until golden brown.
