Tips & Dietary Needs
- No Chicken Stock Concentrate? We highly recommend making Niks Chicken Stock Concentrate for best results! Vegetable stock concentrate will work. You can also replace the water with liquid stock.
- Dont like mushrooms? We have a Creamy Mustard Sauce alternative in the recipe that is also delicious.
- Dairy-free – Use dairy-free butter and dairy-free cream of choice. The Flora plant cream is great for sauces like this, as it doesn’t leave a coconut taste.
- Gluten-free – You can get gluten-free Panko crumbs from Woolworths.
- Egg-free – You can replace with buttermilk.
- Low carb/Paleo – Replace Panko breadcrumbs with sesame seeds and almonds. Replace cornflour with xanthan gum.
- Lower calorie – Omit Parmesan and egg. Cut chicken breast into thin steaks and brush with Greek yoghurt to coat in crumb. Bake lightly sprayed with oil. Use low-fat cream.
- Alcohol Free – Use verjuice.
- Vegetarian – Replace pork with 2 tins drained cannellini beans plus 2 eggs and an extra ½ cup breadcrumbs. Use vegetable stock concentrate.
- Low Fodmap – Use gluten-free panko crumbs and flour. Use lactose-free cream. Omit garlic powder and garlic. Replace onion powder with dried chives. Replace butter with garlic infused olive oil. Use Oyster mushrooms and compliant stock.
How to Cook
- Grate cheese and combine with remaining crumb ingredients.
- Mix pork mince with a portion of the crumb to form the schnitzel mixture.
- Sauté garlic, butter and mushrooms, deglaze with wine, then add remaining sauce ingredients and cook until thickened. Finish with lemon juice and cheese.
- Shape the pork mixture into schnitzels about 1 cm thick.
- Coat each schnitzel in flour, egg and crumb.
- Shallow fry in batches for 5 minutes each side until golden and cooked through.

From the Testing Team
- Tanya H – Low carb version with chicken mince. OMGGGG this was divine. The mushroom sauce is really something! Absolutely loved this. I made 4. I didn’t have Swiss brown mushrooms so used white sliced. It worked fine with them
- Angie G – I can confirm that the Creamy Mushroom Sauce is freezer friendly !! Defrosted at room temp then heated up in a small pan on the stove. The sauce reheated well, the cream didn’t split, and tasted as good as first made yum
- Kristi K – This is by far my favourite recipe from this book. Pork mince, pan fry, made 4 next time I’d make 5 as it’s quite filling. Only had normal mushy and not quite 200g and this is delicious. I’d double sauce next time cause sauce. Great recipe, really enjoyed pork for something different
- Leia S – OMFG yum! Better than any pub schnitzel I’ve ever eaten. We didn’t love the pork schnitzel but we did love the mushroom gravy despite my last effort with blitzed mushrooms & the flavours of the crumb was AMAZING.
We are a chicken breast family so I think that’s part of the reason my family didn’t love it. I redeemed myself tonight followed the recipe exactly just used chicken breast instead of making the pork schnitzel. 10/10 yum
