Chicken Schnitzel in Almond-Halloumi Crust

Preparation & Breading

• 1
  Preheat the oven to 195–200 °C top/bottom heat. Line a baking sheet (approx. 30 cm × 40 cm) with baking paper.
• 2
  Wash the chicken breast, pat dry, and halve lengthwise to create thinner schnitzel. Season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper. Finely grate the Halloumi.
• 3
  Prepare two bowls: In the first bowl, mix the grated Halloumi with the almond flakes. In the second bowl, thoroughly whisk the natural yogurt with the Dijon mustard and eggs.
• 4
  First, generously coat the chicken schnitzel in the yogurt-egg mixture, then bread them in the almond-Halloumi mixture, pressing the crust lightly. Place the schnitzel on the prepared baking sheet.

Baking & Serving

• 1
