If you are keeping Kosher for Passover you know that it can be difficult to come up with a weeks worth of meals. And there is only so much Matzo Pizza a family can eat! I have adapted my Chicken Cutlet recipe to be suitable for Passover. These make a great meal for company as you can make a large batch. Or keep the extras in the fridge for easy lunches! Chop one up for a salad to make a complete meal. Trust me, you will find ways to use these! If you can find Whole Wheat Matzo Meal that makes this recipe even better, but that can be quite tricky, so use what you can!
Serves 4-6
2 lbs thinly sliced or pounded chicken breasts
1 cup matzo cake meal
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp celery seed
2+ tsp flaky sea salt divided
1+ tsp ground pepper divided
3 extra large eggs
3 cups panko style matzo meal or regular matzo meal
Canola Oil in a spray bottle
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a large baking sheet with tin foil
In a medium bowl matzo cake meal, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, celery seed, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper.
In another medium bowl whisk eggs 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
In another bowl add panko style matzo meal and remaining salt and pepper.
Pat chicken dry and dip into matzo cake meal, making sure to coat both sides. Shake off excess. Dip into eggs shaking off excess and finally dip into panko matzo meal, making sure both sides get covered.
Place onto baking sheet. Repeat with all cutlets
Spread out on pan so no cutlets touch. Use a second pan if needed. At this point you can cover with tin foil and refrigerate if you plan to cook later. I almost always make these ahead of time so all I have to do is spray and pop them in the oven and dinner is served.
Spray the cutlets with a light coating of canola oil. Flip and spray other side
Bake for 25-30 minutes (depending on thickness of the cutlets). Flipping half way through. Cutlets should be golden brown and crispy
Serve with
Honey Hot Sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp hot sauce (Melinda’s hot pepper sauce is a great choice)
Mix and spoon over cutlets or use as a dipping sauce
