Healthy Chicken Tender Schnitzels
Instead of indulging in a deep fried pub schnitzel, why not make this healthier version from home? It has been shared with us by Monica Falconer from Mixing with Monica and it is set to be a new family favourite. These schnitzels are really delicious and incredibly family friendly. Using chicken tenderloins makes this so tasty, but if you are on a budget you can easily substitute chicken breast or thigh.
