Chicken Schnitzel with Winter Salad

A midweek dinner that’s crisp, crunchy, and comforting. Hagen’s house-made chicken schnitzels fry up golden in minutes - just add this wintery salad of rocket, pear, and walnuts for freshness and bite.

Ingredients 

• Hagen’s Chicken Schnitzels

• Olive oil or tallow, for shallow frying 

For the winter salad

• 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced

• 2 big handfuls rocket

• 1⁄4 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped

• 1⁄4 cup parmesan, finely grated

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

• Chives, finely chopped, to garnish

Method 

1. Heat a large frypan over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the base.

2. Once hot, fry the schnitzels for 3 - 4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Rest on paper towel.

3. While the schnitzels cook, toss rocket, pear, walnuts and parmesan in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine.

4. Serve schnitzels hot with salad piled alongside and a generous scattering of chives on top.
