Serving: 6
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 20 minutes
Servings 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

  1. Do you crumb these in flour egg breadcrumbs and then put straight into the slow cooker or fry them first?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central April 4, 2020

      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 .

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central May 20, 2020

      Fresh, just drained of the juices it releases when you dice them … so they aren’t too wet on your schnitty 🙂

    DO YOU USE RAW CRUMBED CHICKEN SNITZEL OR THE PRE COOKED CRUMBED CHICKEN SNITZEL BURGERS YOU BUY IN COLES MEAT DEPT.
    THANKS PAULENE

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central September 9, 2020

      You could use either though anything pre cooked wouldn’t take as long if you need it shorter 🙂

  8. 5 stars
    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 ?
