I love me a chicken schnitzel sandwich. I mean bread, mayo, crunchy lettuce and crispy golden chicken. Just SO yum!

But there is one small problem with the ole’ chicken schnitty sandwich. Veggies. If you’re aiming for 5 a day. There’s just not enough of them.

So, enter my chicken schnitzel sandwich bowl. Yep its everything you love about a chicken schnitzel sandwich. Just in a bowl, so you can sneak in more of the good stuff.

Here’s the deal:

• Chicken Schnitzel: Crispy.Golden.Delicious. Enough said.
• Pan-fried bread. Because when you think about it, pan fried bread is so much better than regular toasted bread. We should really be eating it that way all the time.
• Loads of crisp, fresh crunchy salad – think cos lettuce, cherry tomatoes and cucumber to make your chicken sandwich in a bowl healthyish. There’s also a little bit of avo, cos good fats rock.
• Oh, then there’s mayo, because is it even a chicken schnitzel sandwich without it?

Now, I know oil freaks some people out. So, if chicken schnitzel is not your jam, you could definitely substitute it for a regular chicken breast. Sprinkled with herbs and seasoned with salt and pepper, that could be really yummy. The rest of the ingredients are fully flexible too. Life’s too short not to eat your favourite veggies for dinner.

Plus, gluten free peeps. You don’t miss out. Just use gluten free chicken schnitzel -yes they are a thing– then add some gluten free bread and you, my friend, are good to go.

And one last thing. This meal is quick AND easy. Think 3 steps and no more than 20 minutes. It’s official – weeknight wonder status achieved.

So, I’m thinking nourish bowls are so 2017. All hail the mighty chicken schnitzel bowl. What do you reckon?
