Stuffed Chicken Schnitzel Recipe

These stuffed chicken parcels are pretty much a gluten free schnitzel wrapped around a delicious cheesy tomato and herb filling. With a crunchy crumb and smooth filling, these are a healthy meal that is easy to make and tastes great.

Makes 6

Ingredients

• 3 large chicken breasts, butterflied to be cut in half
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 large egg
• Olive oil, for drizzling

For the crumb:

• 2 cups gluten free crumbs (I used rice crumbs)
• 2 teaspoons of chopped rosemary
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese

For the filling:

• 625g buffalo mozzarella, cut into 6 thick strips
• 75g sundried tomatoes, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, finely diced
• 3 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary

How to

1. Preheat oven to 180⁰c. Line a large baking tray.
2. Place the chicken breasts on a plastic cling wrapped surface, leaving a few centimetres space between each piece of meat. Cover the breasts with another strip of plastic cling wrap. Using the flat side of a mallet, beat the chicken breasts until they are flat on top.
3. Whisk egg and milk in a bowl. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, combine gluten free crumbs, rosemary, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese to make the crumb. Set aside.
5. In a third bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, tomato paste, olive oil and rosemary. Set aside.
6. One at a time, dip the chicken in the egg and milk mix. Let excess drip off, and then transfer the chicken in the crumbs. Press the crumbs into the chicken breast to fully coat it and then place on the baking tray.
7. Place one mozzarella stick in the centre of each chicken fillet and evenly distribute the sun-dried tomato filling between the chicken fillets.
8. Wrap the chicken fillets up into small parcels as shown in the picture. Secure with a toothpick or kitchen string.
9. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and they are a nice golden-brown colour.

Serving Suggestion:

• Steamed vegetables and homemade fries
