Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs. chicken cutlets
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 tsp. mustard or hot sauce kosher-for-Passover
  • 1 tsp. water
  • 1 1/2 cups matzoh meal

  • Combine eggs, mustard or hot sauce and water in a large bowl. Combine matzoh meal, almond meal, sesame seeds (if using), parsley, paprika, salt and pepper in another large bowl.
  • Dredge each chicken cutlet into egg mixture, then into matzoh meal mixture, pressing down to ensure the entire piece is cover. Lay flat on a plate or baking sheet.
