I love Trader Joe’s and I love cooking hacks that are crowd-pleasers. So I was excited to hear about a trick using Trader Joe’s falafel mix to make a quick and flavorful chicken schnitzel.

Use half unseasoned panko bread crumbs and half falafel mix so that it isn’t too salty, and the flavor isn’t overpowering. These freeze well and can be made ahead of time. Try serving these with some amba (pickled mango sauce) or a tahini sauce like one of these.
