"The crispy chicken schnitzel recipe with an Asian twist may look elaborate, but we'll guide you through it in just four steps. What makes the schnitzel so aromatic is the breading made from sesame seeds! Coconut milk adds the irresistible creamy texture and rich flavor that compliments the crispiness of the sesame breading. If you prefer less fat in your sauce, feel free to replace coconut milk with regular or lower-fat milk."
