The combo of crispy chicken and an irresistible sauce will have everyone asking for doubles. I served this one Shabbos alongside chicken and meat, and it was gone first.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 and 3/4 pounds (800 grams) chicken cutlets, cut into small/medium strips or nuggets

  • 2 eggs

  • salt, to taste

  • paprika, to taste

  • onion powder, to taste

  • garlic powder, to taste

  • cayenne pepper, to taste

  • 2 cups Gefen Bread Crumbs, for coating

  • 1 cup flour, for dredging

  • sugar, to taste

Sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder

  • 1 clove garlic, minced or 1 cube Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 1 large scallion, finely chopped (use mostly the white part)

  • sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

Prepare the Chicken Cutlets

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Line a nine- by 13-inch (20- by 30-centimeter) baking pan with Gefen Parchment Paper and spray with cooking spray.

2.

Mix eggs with spices in a shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs in a second bowl or a plate, and the flour and a sprinkle of sugar in a third one (the sugar helps the crumbs adhere).

3.

Dip the chicken cutlets first in the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally in the bread crumbs. Lay in the prepared baking pan. Bake uncovered 20 minutes for chicken strips and approximately 15 minutes for nuggets.

4.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking together until smooth. Reduce heat; simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour over the cooked chicken pieces (they can be piled on each other — just make sure they’re all smothered in sauce) and bake covered for 10 minutes (six minutes for nuggets).

5.

Uncover the pan. Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds and bake one more minute. Serve over rice, bulgur, quinoa, or sweet potato puree.

Tips:

To take this recipe up a notch, add cooked, cubed butternut squash or defrosted  cubes to the chicken pieces in the last 10 minutes of baking. Continue as above.

Notes:

The cooked chicken cutlets can be frozen with or without the sauce.
