Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt
Ground pepper
1 tsp. cumin
2 cups panko crumbs
4 chicken cutlets, evenly pounded to thickness of about ¼ in.
4 tbsp. olive oil, plus 2 tbsp. for salsa
¼ cup shredded Manchego cheese
4 large plum tomatoes, seeded, diced
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 medium red onion, diced
½ jalapeño, seeded, diced

Steps
1. For schnitzel: Lightly beat eggs, garlic, salt, pepper and cumin.
2. Combine panko, salt and pepper to taste in shallow container.
3. Soak chicken completely in egg mixture.
4. Move chicken to panko and ensure cutlet is completely covered in crumbs. Pat crumbs to ensure they stick.
