- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and chicken stock. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 20 mins, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken breasts with the flour, shaking off any excess. Season. Place the beaten egg and couscous into two shallow bowls and coat each chicken breast in egg, followed by couscous.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Fry the chicken schnitzels in batches for about 4-5 mins per side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve the chicken schnitzels with the braised cabbage, rocket and lemon wedges.
