Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Thinly slice spring onion. Drain the sweetcorn. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm strips.

Char the corn
2

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn, tossing, until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are popping out.

Crumb the chicken
3

• In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and a pinch of salt. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and All-American spice blend. • Coat chicken first in the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

Little cooks: Help crumb the chicken! Use one hand for the wet ingredients and the other for the dry ingredients to avoid sticky fingers.

Cook the chicken
4

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • Cook crumbed chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the schnitzel does not stick to the pan.

Make the slaw
5

• While chicken is cooking, add slaw mix to the charred corn, along with baby spinach, garlic aioli and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. • Microwave mini flourtortillas on a plate in 10 second bursts until warmed through.

Serve up
6

• Bring everything to the table to serve. • Build your tacos by topping tortillas with charred corn slaw and crumbed chicken strips. • Garnish with spring onion to serve. Enjoy!

Little cooks: Take the lead and help build the tacos!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Tasty and refreshing, though some found it needed more seasoning or sauce for extra flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, though crumbing the chicken took longer than expected for some.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding fresh coriander and extra garlic aioli; try cooking the crumbed chicken in an air fryer for less mess.
  • Next-day meals: Leftovers made for a good lunch the following day.
