Direction:
- Wash and peel potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place in a medium saucepan and just cover with cold water. Bring to the boil then simmer for 20-25 minutes or until fork tender
- Drain potatoes and return to the dry pan. Shake pan occasionally to remove excess moisture. Mash the potatoes and stir in ¾ of the butter
- Add milk, chives, sour cream, bacon and cheese. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining cubes of butter, cover and keep warm
- Slice each breast in half lengthways to create four thin fillets. Place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and beat with a mallet or rolling pin until flat and even
- Place flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper, mix well. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. On a separate flat tray, mix breadcrumbs and parsley together
- Dust the chicken in the flour, then dip into the egg wash and coat in the breadcrumbs
- Heat 2cm oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook schnitzels in batches for 4-5 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and keep warm
- Steam, microwave or boil broccolini until just tender. Add butter and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper
- To serve, dollop mashed potatoes on plates and serve with schnitzel and broccolini
