A weekly request and staple in my household and always a favourite. Mum, the Cotoletta master, would make an egg-garlic mixture and then coat with breadcrumbs, deep-frying until golden brown for the ultimate crunchy memory bite!

Anna Simon's tips

My mum's tip for the perfect Cotoletta: first dip the chicken in the cheese and then the egg and crumbs. Cheese burns quickly, so doing this will prevent the crumb from going too brown too quickly.

I added the parmigiano to the bread crumbs. Delicious!

Omg this is SUPER delicious! So crispy on the outside and so very moist and succulent on the thigh meat! A winner for sure!

Love this one and so do my family. It has been a bit of a game-changer for us; before tasting this my 10-year-old WOULD NOT EAT CHICKEN! It’s super-versatile too (I am sure we use it in ways that would make Anna’s mum cry). The meat retains moisture, the outside is crunchy and savoury, and the whole thing is delicious. I can also report that whizzed up salted corn chips will work in place of Panko bread crumbs if you find yourself in a pinch (however it will NOT look as pretty)/

Whilst mine didn't come out looking like the photos they still tasted delicious! The garlic and parmesan add a nice flavour profile that you don't get with a normal schnitzel. Definitely recommend this as a way to elevate it!

The Parmesan, garlic and parsley made this so tasty! Not sure if I did anything wrong but the Parmesan as first layer made the crumb not stick very well to the meat. I also had quite a bit of breadcrumbs leftover and will reduce by 1/4 next time. Will definitely make again! Served this one with green goddess salad and pesto on the side.

Wow the crunch was insane and the chicken stayed super moist! Crumbing using a layer of Parmesan cheese to keep the chicken moist is so clever! I was a bit confused by the ml measurements for the breadcrumb and panko crumb mixture, perhaps it may be easier to change the measurement to cups to avoid confusion. I made extra to keep in the freezer for weeknight meals and I can't wait to eat it again!
