Ingredients

For the chicken schnitzel:

1 large chicken breast cut in half lengthways
¼ cup plain flour
1 egg
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
Oil for frying

For the burgers:

2 burger buns cut in half and toasted
¼ cup honey mustard sauce
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1 tomato sliced
8 sliced pickles approx

Instructions

Make the chicken schnitzel:

Place each piece of chicken between two sheets of baking paper and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound until even in thickness.
Place the flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Season the flour with salt and pepper and dredge each piece of chicken in the mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip into the egg, then coat well in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help them stick.
Heat about 1 cm of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the schnitzel and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil and cool.

To assemble the burgers:

Spread a generous tablespoon of honey mustard sauce over the cut side of each toasted bun.
Place a handful of shredded iceberg lettuce on the base of each bun and layer with pickles. Place the cooked chicken schnitzel on top and finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately!
