About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 4/5 lb chicken breast
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp herby mayonnaise
- 4 piece pickled orange segments
Hazelnut Crust
- 1 4/5 oz hazelnuts
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- 1Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin.
- 2Prepare the hazelnut crust by mixing the chopped hazelnuts with a pinch of salt and pepper (see component).
- 3Place the seasoned chicken cutlets on a plate; press each cutlet into the hazelnut mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
- 4Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat until shimmering.
- 5Add the coated chicken cutlets to the skillet in a single layer; fry for 4–5 minutes without moving them, until the crust is golden brown.
- 6Flip the cutlets and fry the other side for another 4–5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (165°F).
- 7Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a clean plate and let them rest for 1 minute to retain juices.
- 8Spread a thin layer of herby mayonnaise over the top of each schnitzel.
- 9Arrange the sliced pickled orange segments on top of the mayo‑topped schnitzels.
- 10Serve immediately while the crust is still crisp, optionally with a simple green salad.
