Chicken pockets with crisp snow pea sprouts for a refreshing bite.
Ingredients:
  • 1 avocado, coarsely chopped
  • 19.80 gm mayonnaise
  • 23.40 gm Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 75g (1 1/2 cups) panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 (about 500g) uncrumbed chicken breast schnitzels
  • Extra virgin olive oil, to shallow-fry
  • 2 pita bread rounds, halved
  • 50g snow pea sprouts, trimmed
  • 1 truss tomato, sliced
  • Chilli sauce, to serve
  • Fresh basil leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • Mash the avocado with a fork in a bowl, then add the mayonnaise and mix well. Season to taste and set aside.
  • Mix the mustard and chilli in a bowl. Spread breadcrumbs on a plate. Brush the chicken with the mustard mixture using a pastry brush, then coat both sides generously with breadcrumbs. Transfer to a tray.
  • Fill a large frying pan with oil until it reaches 2cm up the side. Heat on high. Cook chicken in 2 batches for 3 minutes each side until crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Remove excess oil from the pan. Warm bread in the pan for 30 seconds each side.
  • Top the bread with a flavorful mix of avocado, chicken, sprouts, tomato, chili sauce, and fresh basil before serving.
