Instructions
1
Prepare Chicken and Breading
Start by placing the chicken breasts on a flat surface and gently pound them with the smooth side of a meat mallet until they're about a quarter-inch thick. In one shallow bowl, put the flour. In another, whisk together the eggs and a splash of water. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate.
2
Bread the Chicken
Coat each piece of chicken first in the flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally press it into the bread crumbs, making sure both sides are well covered. Set the breaded chicken aside on a plate.
3
Blend and Chill Sauce
Next, blend the mangoes, cream cheese, heavy cream, and mango jam until smooth. Pop the sauce into the fridge to let it thicken up a bit while you cook.
4
Cook Chicken Until Golden
Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until it’s golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.
5
Plate and Garnish Schnitzel
Serve the schnitzel with a generous spoonful of the mango cream sauce on top, then sprinkle with chopped shallots and a pinch of sea salt for a little extra flavor.
