Chicken Schnitty with BBQ Bacon & Cheese
Serving: 6
Ingredients
- 12 smaller burger sized crumbed chicken schnitzels
- 6 small ripe tomatoes (or 3 large), diced small, drained well
- 6 rashers streaky bacon, diced
- 1T dried Italian herbs
- 2/3 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 cups grated tasty cheese
Instructions
- Place the schnitzel into slow cooker in single layer
- Combine the drained diced tomato, diced bacon, herbs and sauce and mix well. Spoon this mix generously over each schnitzel
- Cook on low for 3hrs 45mins with tea towel trick in place
- Add generous amount of cheese to top of each schnitzel and cook for an additional 15mins to melt well
- Serve with side salad and chips
Note
- You can of course swap these smaller schnitzels for full sized ones if you prefer
- I do mine in two slow cookers at once but you can reduce number to your size/family needs
- The tea towel trick ensures they stay crisp and crunchy, not soggy
- Check out the upcoming book edition 'Slow Cooker Central - READY, SET, SLOW' for another new and exciting schnitzel recipe! Books available on the SHOP page of this website

Do you crumb these in flour egg breadcrumbs and then put straight into the slow cooker or fry them first?
These are crumbed 🙂 No pre frying … in as they come
Another 5 star recipe! Actually was not the planned dinner, but the meat i had thawed was not pleasant when I unwrapped it ? so this stepped in as a rescue dinner and so glad it did!
Easy, used pantry staples I already had and SO delicious. I used the Ingham boxed Louisiana hot spice schnitzels, added onion and liquid smoke to the sauce mix ? absolutely will be doing again!
Hi Pauline have a question regarding the tomatoes is that tin all fresh as you have said to drain well so I was confused about that thanks .
Fresh, just drained of the juices it releases when you dice them … so they aren’t too wet on your schnitty 🙂
These were really delicious ?. A nice change from a traditional parmi. Another recipe to keep. Thanks Paulene.
Another great meal tonight these were so yummy hubbie went back twice served up with chips cooked in airfryer thanks Paulene for a great recipe ?
This was very tasty I used a tin of diced tomatoes will have this dish again, used pre crumbed chicken schnitzels
DO YOU USE RAW CRUMBED CHICKEN SNITZEL OR THE PRE COOKED CRUMBED CHICKEN SNITZEL BURGERS YOU BUY IN COLES MEAT DEPT.
THANKS PAULENE
You could use either though anything pre cooked wouldn’t take as long if you need it shorter 🙂
Kids said it was better than pizza!!! Clean plates all round. Added extra cheese cause it’s cheese, didn’t have tomato.. served with some chips!! Will be making it again, thanks for the recipe ?
That’s a high compliment from kids Kat!!
Thank you 🙂 🙂
