Extra Crispy Passover Chicken Cutlets

Servings 5

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 1 cup potato starch aprox
  • 3 cups matzo meal
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 4 eggs
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • salt and pepper to dust the chicken strips

Instructions
 

  • Lay out a large sheet of wax or parchment paper to work on.
    Put the prepared chicken strips on one side of this work surface, then a shallow bowl with the potato starch in it.
    In a larger bowl, mix the matzo meal, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder together and have this nearby. 
    In a medium bowl, prepare the eggs (beating just to blend as the egg coating). What is required is an assembly line to work with the chicken, potato starch, eggs, and last the seasoned matzo meal.
    Dust the chicken strips lightly with salt & pepper. Dredge the strips lightly and shake off in the potato starch. Then lower the chicken strips into the beaten eggs, then dip and press in seasoned matzo meal.
    Using a large skillet, heat oil (up to 1/4 of sides) to 350 F. Fry a few pieces of chicken at a time, turning once, until well browned on each side - adjust heat as required. Drain well. Serve warm or cold.
