Ingredients
    For the Schnitzel Mixture:
  • 2 red bell peppers (washed, deseeded, and finely chopped)
  • 2 green bell peppers (washed, deseeded, and finely chopped)
  • A bunch of fresh green parsley (finely chopped)
  • 200 grams of cedar cheese (or your preferred cheese, grated)
  • 2 pieces of chicken breast (diced)
  • 1 small pumpkin (cut into small pieces)
  • 1 small can of sweet corn (drained)
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt (or your preferred yogurt)
  • 4 large eggs (adjust depending on egg size)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • For Baking:
  • Olive oil (for greasing and drizzling)
Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ingredients
    1. Vegetables: Wash and deseed the red and green peppers, then chop them finely.
    2. Herbs and Cheese: Chop the parsley and grate the cedar cheese (or your choice of cheese).
    3. Chicken and Pumpkin: Dice the chicken breast and cut the pumpkin into small pieces.
    4. Corn: Drain the sweet corn from the can.
  2. Prepare the Schnitzel Mixture
    1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped peppers, parsley, grated cheese, diced chicken, pumpkin pieces, and sweet corn.
    2. Add the flour, Greek yogurt, and the 2 large eggs. Season with salt and black pepper.
    3. Mix everything together until well combined. If the mixture seems too thick, add 2 more eggs (you should end up using a total of 4 large eggs, or 5 if your eggs are smaller).
    4. Make sure the mixture is thick but not too dry— it should be spreadable.
  3. Bake the Schnitzels
    1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
    2. Lightly grease a baking tray with olive oil.
    3. Pour the schnitzel mixture onto the tray, spreading it evenly across the surface.
    4. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top for a nice golden finish.
    5. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned and crispy.
  4. Serve and Enjoy
    1. Once the schnitzels are golden and fully cooked, remove them from the oven.
    2. Let them cool slightly, then slice and serve.
