Chicken schnitzel is delicious and so versatile! Using tenderloins in this recipe eliminates the need for fatty oils. Tenderloins are a succulent cut of meat and the almond and herb coat locks in the juices. You can serve this with salad, veggies, home-made guacamole (your choices are endless).. I make a whole heap of it and use it for salads later on or on toasted chicken, lettuce and mayo sandwiches (for the people who aren't dieting).
You can also prep the schnitzels and freeze them for up to 3 months so that they're ready whenever you need them. This is a great option for those who don't want to give their kids processed foods, but are time-poor!
