Introducing The Meadow Vale Crispy Chicken Schnitzel – The Ultimate Plate Filler!

Published on 16th November 2023

Meadow Vale Foods continues to lead the way when it comes to market leading frozen poultry products, and this brand new Crispy Chicken Schnitzel is taking the title of the ultimate plate filler! Weighing in at a whopping 200g, the fillet delivers not only fantastic value for money but most importantly a fantastic tasting product.

Schnitzels On The Rise

A recent food industry survey showed that UK consumers love trying new things, with 77% of people surveyed agreeing that trying flavours from all around the world is fun.* This highlights how adding menu ideas with an international flavour is a great way to increase revenues for all QSR’s, takeaways, restaurants and food trucks.

Chicken Schnitzels have long been a favoured meal of choice when dining out in major European cities, but by bringing that great taste back to the UK allows your customers to indulge in nostalgic trips abroad without having to leave their hometown!

The Ultimate Plate Filler!

The Meadow Vale Crispy Chicken Schnitzel features a panko coating which is famously lighter and crispier than regular breadcrumbs, and absorbs less grease and oil when cooking, ensuring the 200g flattened chicken breast fillet remains the hero of the meal.

Whether served up as a traditional Chicken Schnitzel, or used for an XXL chicken burger, this fillet will fill any plate it’s placed on, furthering the notion that your customers will feel they’re getting exceptional value for money.

Meadow Vale Fillets have been a consistent favourite between wholesalers and food service industry professionals alike, and this 200g Crispy Chicken Schnitzel will offer a popular ‘Go Large’ option to complement our best selling 120g Crispy Battered Fillet that has sold a whopping 6.35 million fillets so far in 2023!**
