Gluten-Free Chicken Schnitzel

Going gluten-free can be difficult. Suddenly your favourite meals that contain gluten are no longer an option, and your stuck wishing you could have them once again. Growing up, chicken schnitzel was one of my favourite meals; Mum used to make it once a week and I looked forward to it!

Recently, I came up with an absolutely delicious gluten-free take on this meal. Whilst it does take some time, I can promise you that it's totally worth it!
