Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Lemon & Herb Chicken Schnitzel
What it is
This is a pre-prepared chicken schnitzel, meaning it is a thin cut of chicken breast that has been coated in breadcrumbs. The coating is seasoned with lemon and herbs, giving it a bright and aromatic flavor profile. It is designed for quick and easy cooking, offering a convenient meal option for busy individuals or families. The chicken is typically tender, and the breadcrumb coating provides a satisfying crispness when cooked.
How people cook with it
This schnitzel is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or as part of a more elaborate meal.
- Served in a sandwich
- Paired with a fresh salad
- As a main course with vegetables

To prepare, heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the chicken schnitzel into the hot pan and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crisp, and the chicken is cooked through. You can also bake it in a preheated oven at 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6) for about 18-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and cooked. Ensure the chicken is piping hot before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain breaded chicken, this schnitzel stands out due to its specific lemon and herb seasoning. This infusion of citrus and aromatic herbs adds a distinct flavor that complements the chicken without overpowering it. It offers a more sophisticated taste than a basic breadcrumb coating.
