4 servings
For the schnitzel
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
- ½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ cup neutral oil (such as sunflower or avocado oil), for frying
For the apple slaw
- 3 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 medium apples (such as fuji or gala), cored and julienned or coarsely grated
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- 1
Make the slaw first so it has time to soften slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned apple, and grated carrot. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, and 1/4 tsp salt until combined. Pour the dressing over the slaw, add the parsley, and toss well to coat. Set aside at room temperature while you prepare the schnitzel.

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a zip-top bag. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch (6 mm).
