  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

  3. Put the rice crumbs into a bowl and set aside.
  4. Butterfly the chicken fillets by slicing your knife into the thickest part of the fillet, making sure you don't cut all the way through. Then butterfly it open. Repeat on the other side of the fillet if it's still too thick.
  5. Season the fillets with salt and pepper.
  6. Dip each fillet portion into the egg mixture first then coat into the rice crumbs and set aside.
  7. Spray each crumbed chicken schnitzel with olive oil and place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
