Ingredients

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ⅓ cup Fresh parsley
  • 1 Egg
  • ⅓ cup plain flour
  • 4 skinless chicken breast uncrumbed halves
  • 4 wholegrain bread rolls
  • 1 cucumber
  • 350 g packet kaleslaw or your choice of slaw kit
  • ⅓ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise or Greek-style yoghurt
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place panko on prepared tray and bake for 5 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a shallow dish, then add parsley, stirring to combine.
  • Place egg in another shallow bowl and whisk in one tablespoon water. Place flour on a plate.
  • Working with one schnitzel at time, lightly coat chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg mixture, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat both sides. Transfer chicken to prepared tray and lightly spray with oil. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Place rolls in oven for the last 3 minutes of cooking time to warm through, if desired.
  • Meanwhile, place cucumber and kaleslaw kit, including dressing, in a large bowl. Season with freshly ground black pepper, tossing well to combine. Place mayonnaise, juice and mustards in a small bowl, stirring to combine. Add a little water if mayonnaise is too thick.
  • Top roll bases with mustard mayonnaise, then schnitzel. Top with cucumber kaleslaw and serve sandwiched with roll tops.

Notes

Tips:
Salad: If you want the salad to last a few days, dress your portion of salad just before eating and leave the rest in fridge (undressed) in the fridge until you are ready to use it. 
Bread rolls:
Choose wholemeal or grainy small rolls. Look for ones that are high fibre. For something even lighter, choose a low carb/high protein wrap or Sandwich thins
Shortcuts:
If you are short on time, then buy your schnitzels ready to bake. You can get these from your butcher (make sure they are chicken breast to keep it lean) or you can find similar ones in your supermarket:
