Print Pin RateServings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 40 g plain flour
- 75 g panko breadcrumbs
- 40 g sesame seeds
For the sauce:
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp garlic paste
- 2 tsp ginger paste
To garnish:
- Sesame seeds
- Spring onions sliced
Instructions
- Pop the chicken breasts into a sandwich bag, then bash each one out carefully until it’s about half a centimetre thick.
- Get 3 trays ready. One with flour, one with the eggs, and in the last one add the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds and mix well.
- Coat the chicken breasts in the flour, then the eggs, and finally the sesame breadcrumbs.
- Heat a good amount of cooking oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add some breadcrumbs into the pan, and if they sizzle, it’s ready to go. Shallow fry each sesame schnitzel until they are golden and crispy on both sides. You may need to do these one at a time.
- Once golden and crispy, remove them from the pan and onto kitchen paper.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by adding all the sauce ingredients into a pan and bring to the boil.
- Dish the sesame schnitzel up, then pour over some of the sweet and spicy sauce. Sprinkle over some sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.
