Crispy Chicken Schnitzel with Vibrant Apple & Fennel Slaw

IT'S SCHNITTY TIME!! Believe or not, this is a go to for me after a long day. It's proper quick, and done well, is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. Crispy, golden chicken with something really fresh and punchy alongside it is just an elite combination. The slaw is almost the important part here. I don't want some sad pile of cabbage drowning in mayonnaise. We are using fennel and crisp apple for loads of crunch, then crème fraîche instead of mayo which gives you something lighter and naturally a little tangy. And when I say I want the slaw PUNCHY, I mean it. Loads of lemon, Dijon, herbs and a little cider vinegar. It should almost feel slightly too sharp when you taste it on its own, because once you eat it alongside the hot, buttery schnitzel everything balances itself out beautifully.
