MASH
Place the Potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
Chicken PREP
Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and place flat-side down on a cutting board. Place the palm of your non-cutting hand on top of the breast. Using a sharp knife, cut through it horizontally to make two thin breast pieces. Lay the pieces side-by-side and cover with cling wrap. Using a mallet, empty jar, or rolling pin, tenderise the chicken by gently pounding until halved in thickness.
OH CRUMBS!
In a shallow dish, whisk 1 egg with ½ a tsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing the flour (seasoned lightly) and the other containing the breadcrumbs. Coat each Chicken schnitzel in the flour first, then in the egg, and, lastly, in the breadcrumbs. When passing through the crumb, press it into the chicken so that it coats evenly.
FRY THE Chicken
Place a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the schnitzels until golden and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, season, and drain on paper towel.
THYME SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and 30g of butter. When the butter has melted, fry the chopped thyme until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice (to taste). Season.
SIDE SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the Carrot ribbons, the drained peppers, and the rinsed salad leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning.
