METHOD
Slice the chicken into cutlets. Do this by placing the chicken on a chopping board.
Place your hand on top to apply firm pressure and keep the breast still. Beginning at the thick end of the breast, Use a sharp knife to slice through the breast horizontally. Avoid “sawing”, rather use sweeping slice motions, removing and repeating the action until you are all the way through to the thin part. The result should be two evenly thick breast cutlets, half the thickness, but the same size and shape as the whole breast.
Combine the lemon juice + 1/4 c water in a bowl.
Cut the apple into thin matchsticks and toss in the water.
Prepare and combine the cabbage and spring onions, then strain and toss in the apple.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Combine the flour, stock, onion and garlic powder, rosemary and sage in a large bowl.
Add the chicken breast cutlets and toss well to combine.
Combine the eggs and milk in a flat-ish bowl or tray.
Combine the sesame seeds and panko in a third tray.
In a large deep frying pan over high heat, heat the oil until a couple of panko crumbs dropped in fizzle quickly.
Working in [pairs, dip 2 floured breasts into the egg mixture, coating well and then press into the crumb mixture. Turning to coat both sides.
Carefully lower into the oil and allow to cook until golden on each side - about 3-4 mins each side.
Place on a paper or rack lined tray and cover with foil to keep warm.
Repeat with remaining chicken breast.
Squeeze lime juice over salad then toss through with the salt and oil.
