  1. MASH

    Place a pot of cold, salted water over a high heat. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until soft. Drain on completion, and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Then, stir through a knob of butter. Season to taste.

  2. BEANS

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a splash of water. When starting to bubble, simmer the halved green beans for 3-4 minutes until cooked al dente. Toss with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Remove from the pan.

  3. SAUCE

    Place a small pot over a medium heat with 10g of butter. Once melted, vigorously mix in 5g of the flour to form the roux. Cook out for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk. Once the milk is incorporated, add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Season to taste and remove from the heat. Add a splash of water or milk if the sauce gets too thick before serving.

  4. SCHNITTY

    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 them by gently pounding until halved in thickness. In a shallow dish, whisk 1 egg with ½ a tsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing the remaining flour (seasoned lightly) and the other containing the breadcrumbs. Coat one chicken schnitzel in the flour first, then in the egg, and lastly in the breadcrumbs. When passing through the crumb, press it into the meat so it coats evenly. Repeat with the other schnitzel.

  5. CRISP

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the schnitzels for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan on completion, season, and drain on paper towel. In a salad bowl, toss the green beans and rinsed green leaves with a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning.

  6. ENJOY

    Plate up the mashed potato and side with the crispy schnitty. Drizzle over the creamy cheese sauce and serve the salad on the side. Garnish with the chopped parsley and a lemon wedge. Delicious!
