Chicken Schnitzel Holstein

This retro classic hails from Germany and dresses up schnitzel with a fried egg, capers, and anchovies. It’s salty, rich, and very satisfying - perfect with fries or a simple salad.
 

Serves 2

Ingredients 

  • Hagen’s Chicken Schnitzels

  • Olive oil or ghee, for shallow frying 

  • 2 eggs 

  • 4 anchovy fillets

  • 1 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained

  • Diced parsley

  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Method 

  1. Heat oil in a large pan and fry schnitzels 3 - 4 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through. Rest on paper towel.

  2. In a separate pan, fry eggs sunny-side up until whites are set and yolks still runny.

  3. To serve, top each schnitzel with a fried egg, a couple of anchovy fillets, and a scattering of capers.

  4. Add a wedge of lemon on the side and serve with a sharp green rocket salad.
