For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a squeeze of lemon juice to the asparagus cream sauce. To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skillet when frying the chicken schnitzel. Cook in batches, if necessary, and maintain a consistent medium-low heat. Serve with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Prepare the Asparagus Sauce: In a saucepan, gently mash the drained asparagus spears with a fork. (2 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Stir in the light cream and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. (5 minutes)
03
Step
20 mins
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. This should take approximately 20 minutes. Cover to keep warm.
04
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Chicken Schnitzel: Place each chicken breast half between two sheets of plastic wrap on a sturdy work surface.
05
Step
3 mins
Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. (5 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Season the flattened chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
07
StepSet up a breading station: In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. In a third shallow dish, add the dry bread crumbs.
08
StepDredge each piece of chicken in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken evenly with the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
09
StepCook the Chicken Schnitzel: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering. (3 minutes)
10
StepCarefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches, if necessary.
11
StepCook for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
12
StepRemove the cooked chicken schnitzel from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
13
StepServe immediately, spooning the creamy asparagus sauce generously over the crispy chicken schnitzel.
