Pistachio Crusted Chicken

Another one of my 'one new recipe a week' challenge contenders. Again, this is from a 'Woman's Weekly' magazine I have ripped out and stowed away for good keeping.

NB  The recipe is actually for 'Almond crusted chicken' but I had pistachios I needed to use up so have improvised.  They did the trick :D

Pistachio Crusted Chicken
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped pistachio nuts
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2t Paprika
1/2 cup plain flour
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
4 chicken schnitzels
Oil for shallow frying

1.  In a bowl combine breadcrumbs, nuts, zest and paprika. Season to taste.  Place four on a plate.  Whisk egg and milk together in a shallow dish.

2.  Coat chicken in flour, shaking off excess.  Dip into egg mixture and toss in breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat. Place chicken on a tray and chill for at least 15 minutes.

3. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium.  Cook schnitzels for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.  drain on paper towel. Serve chicken with veges of your choice.
