Crunchy Chicken Schnitzel Salad With Mustard Mayo
  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air.

  2. Chop your potato[es] (skins on) into large bite-sized pieces.

  3. Add the chopped potatoes to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp.

  5. Add your chicken breast portion[s] to a clean chopping board and cover with cling film.

  6. Bash the chicken breast portion[s] with a rolling pin until evenly flattened – this is your chicken escalope.

  7. Add your panko breadcrumbs to a plate and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

  8. Spread most of your Dijon mustard (save the rest for later!) over both sides of the chicken escalope using the back of a spoon.

  9. Press the chicken escalope into the breadcrumbs firmly to evenly coat all over – this is your breaded chicken.

  10. Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat.

  11. Once hot, add the breaded chicken and cook for 5-6 min on each side or until golden and cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your chicken schnitzel.

  12. While the chicken is cooking, chop your apple[s] into thin wedges and remove the core[s].

  13. Cut your cucumber in half lengthways, then slice finely.

  14. Wash your salad, then pat it dry with kitchen paper.

  15. Combine the remaining Dijon mustard, your mayo, cider vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl.

  16. Give everything a good mix up – this is your mustard mayo.

  17. Once the potatoes are golden and crisp, transfer them to a large bowl.

  18. Add the chopped apple and sliced cucumber to the bowl with the salad and half the mustard mayo (you'll use the rest later!).

  19. Give everything a good mix up – this is your crunchy salad.

  20. Slice the chicken schnitzel finely on a clean chopping board.

  21. Serve the crunchy salad and top with the sliced chicken schnitzel.

  22. Drizzle over the remaining mustard mayo.
