This recipe was created by PlateUp.
The ultimate combo - a crispy air fryer chicken schnitzel on top of Green Goddess pasta salad that's packed with plant points. This is what weeknight dinner dreams are made of, and it's all thanks to Dr. Will's. Our breadcrumbed chicken is air fried until crispy. Served alongside easy Green Goddess pasta, with star of the show Dr. Will's Green Goddess Dressing of course. Ideal for meal prep and using any leftover greens in the fridge.
INGREDIENTS:
4 chicken breasts, flattened (650g)
1 tbsp plain flour
1 egg, beaten
60g panko breadcrumbs
2 tsp dried parsley
Cooking oil spray, or your preferred oil
300g rigatoni pasta
½ cucumber, chopped
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
100g baby spinach, roughly chopped
60ml Dr. Will's Green Goddess Dressing
Salt & pepper, to taste
METHOD:
-
Prep & cook the chicken schnitzels
-
Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper. With a rolling pin, or another heavy object, flatten the chicken until it’s around 1cm thickness all over (this will help it cook more quickly).
-
Put the flour in one shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Beat the egg in another bowl and put the breadcrumbs and dried parsley in a third bowl.
-
Coat each chicken breast with the flour and pat off any excess, then dip it in the beaten egg. Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mix until well covered. Repeat until all the chicken is breadcrumbed.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Spray the schnitzels lightly with cooking oil and air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
-
Cook the pasta
-
Meanwhile, cook the rigatoni pasta according to packet instructions until al dente. Drain then add to a large bowl.
-
Make the Green Goddess pasta
-
While the pasta is cooking, deseed and slice the cucumber, thinly slice the spring onions and roughly chop the spinach.
-
Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the cooked pasta. Stir in Dr. Will’s Green Goddess Dressing and mix well. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste.
