Instructions
1
Pound and Dredge Chicken
Start by placing the chicken breasts on a clean, flat surface. Use the smooth side of a meat mallet (or a rolling pin) to gently pound them until they’re about a quarter-inch thick. Next, set up your dredging station: put the flour in one shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water in another, and spread the breadcrumbs out on a plate. Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally press it into the breadcrumbs so it’s fully covered.

Cook schnitzel and sauce
For the sauce, blend the mangoes, cream cheese, heavy cream, and mango jam until smooth. Pop it in the fridge for a bit to let it thicken up while you cook the chicken. Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the schnitzels until they’re golden brown and cooked through—about 3 minutes on each side should do it. Serve the chicken with the mango cream sauce spooned on top, and finish with a sprinkle of chopped shallots and a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions
Serve with a light green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the rich flavors. A side of fluffy rice or roasted potatoes also pairs well and helps soak up the creamy sauce.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven to keep the coating crisp, and add a little extra sauce if it thickens too much.
