Week Eleven - Chicken Schnitzel with Bacon and White Wine

I’m a bit late updating this but I tried last week’s new recipe on Monday night. It was back to my Nigella Express recipe book, and a Chicken Schnitzel with White Wine and Bacon.

The recipe had appealed to me because it was something that sounded simple and fast – something that I like on a Monday for dinner after my dance class. All it involved was frying some bacon until crisp, frying some chicken and garlic until cooked through, then adding in the bacon and white wine. I planned to serve it with some mashed potato and spring onions.

However, things didn’t go quite as easily as planned! The book had assured me that my chicken would be cooked with just 2 minutes on each side, and whilst I was sceptical I accepted the timings and had my potatoes ready accordingly. The chicken was no where near cooked, and took a lot longer so the potatoes ended up a bit cold. When it was eventually all served up, it was nice enough, but absolutely nothing special, and not something I’m desperate to try again!
