MEXICAN CHICKEN SCHNITZELS

Treat your schnitzel like a tray of nachos: pile it high with sour cream, red onion and fresh coriander. A squeeze of fresh lime goes a long way here, but if you don’t have limes, lemons are also delicious with chicken schnitzels.

  • 1 x 700 g pack Woolworths Crumbed Free Range Chicken Schnitzels
  • 125 g sour cream
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 200 g cocktail tomatoes, sliced
  • 10 g fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1 lime or lemon, juiced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the schnitzels on a tray for 20 – 25 minutes, until golden and crunchy. Top with 1 -2 T sour cream (you can also use crème fraîche or guacamole).
  2. Sprinkle over the red onion and tomatoes. Garnish with coriander and squeeze over the lime or lemon.

Cook's note: Use a spoonful of Woolworths Tomato Salsa instead of fresh tomato.
