Moroccan Chicken Schnitzel

What a great recipe to start my blog! This is a creation of mine inspired by my time in the Middle East. 

What you need-

1 large chicken breast

2 tbs butter

2 eggs

1 cup all purpose flour

2 tbs zatar seasoning

1/2 tsp turmeric 

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp cardamom

Salt and pepper

1 large Tomatoe 

1 cucumber 

1tsp olive oil

Juice of half a lemon

Chives 

Hummus 

Pita

To start, heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Then pound the chicken thin and cut in half for two portions. Mix flour and seasonings. Make an egg wash out of the eggs and a couple spoons of cold water. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour then the eggs then back in the flour. Melt butter in the skillet. Sauté the chicken in the skillet making sure you brown both sides. Make sure chicken is cooked thoroughly. Then start on the salad. Dice the tomatoe and cucumber. Toss with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve schnitzel with grilled pita, salad, and hummus topped with fried chives. It is pictured below with breaded fried Thai chilies. They are extremely spicy so if you like spice they can be a great accompaniment to this dish. I hope you enjoy and let me know how this recipe works for you.
