Method
SLay the chicken breasts between two pieces of clingfilm and gently flatten them using a rolling pin, until they’re about 1cm (1/2 in) thick. Dust both with seasoned flour, dip in the egg, shake off the excess, then cover with the breadcrumbs. The chicken breasts can be left in the fridge overnight at this point.
When ready to eat, cook the pasta according to pack instructions, adding the peas into the water for the last two minutes. While it’s cooking, heat a large frying pan with around ½ cm (1/4 in) of oil in the bottom. When the oil begins to shimmer, cook the chicken breasts for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.
When the pasta and peas are cooked, drain and toss through with the butter, season then serve with the schnitzel and a lemon wedge each to squeeze over.
