Schnitzel with Mash and Mushroom Sauce
A classic pub feed recipe! Including my mushroom sauce which is just the best!
A life long debate - do you prefer your mushroom sauce on top or on the side?! I have to have mine allll over my food, with extra on the side!
This mushroom sauce is so creamy and delicious, it is similar to my chicken in mushroom sauce recipe, however I tweaked it slightly for this recipe.
This recipe also includes my chicken schnitzel, which I use through various recipes such as my chicken parmi and Italian Bowl remake - however just as good on it’s own!
This is a great weeknight meal and I love to serve with a side greens and creamy mash.
Enjoy!

Cooking Time: 30 min
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
Schnitzel:
Chicken breast x 2
1/2 cup flour
1 TBS onion powder
Salt & Pepper
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
2 eggs
Dash of milk
Vegetable oil to fry
Mushroom Sauce:
1 TBS butter
300g mushrooms
5 garlic cloves
1/4 dry white wine
300ml pure cream
1 TBS vegeta/stock powder
1 TBS Worcestershire sauce
Mash:
4 brushed potatoes, washed and peeled
2 TBS butter
1/4 cup milk, warmed
Salt to taste
Method:
Mushroom Sauce - Start this before you start the chicken!
In a frying pan, melt the butter over a medium/high heat and add in the mushrooms and crushed garlic.
Cook for 5 mins
Add the white wine and let it simmer until reduced
Add the cream, Worcestershire sauce and stock powder and stir
Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer until reduced - about 15-20 mins
Schnitzel
Cut each chicken breast into 3 thin slices
Place the chicken pieces between baking paper and use a meat mallet to thin out the chicken piece
In one bowl, mix flour, onion powder, salt and pepper
In another bowl, whisk 2 eggs and milk
In another bowl, mix panko bread crumbs, parsley and parmesan cheese
Dip each chicken piece into the flour, then egg mixture and then into the panko and set aside.
Heat a pan over a medium/high heat and add enough olive oil to shallow fill the pan
Fry each piece until golden brown on each side (a few mins each side). Check to ensure they are not burning and adjust heat accordingly.
Mash Potato -
Cut the potato into similar size pieces
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add in the potatoes. Cook for 15 minutes until tender enough to be mashed
Drain potatoes
Put through a potato ricer back into the pot
Add the warmed milk & butter and mash until combined
Plate with some mash on the bottom, chicken schnitzel and then mushroom sauce on top, or on the side!
