My daughter-in-law brought this dish once for Shabbos and we had not one tiny piece of schnitzel left. I filed the recipe away and knew I had to try it with potato starch instead of flour for Pesach. It works perfectly and freezes well too. There are a few steps — marinate, fry, sauce, and bake, but none of them are too difficult. You’ll see how much your family will appreciate it and you’ll want to double the recipe next time!
1 teaspoon Haddar Baking Powder
cayenne pepper, to taste
2 eggs
1 teaspoon oil
Gefen Paprika, to taste
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, diced or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1/3 cup Gefen Ketchup
2 tablespoons oil
2 onions, diced
a pinch of salt
1/4 cup water
2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) chicken cutlets, cut into small pieces or strips
oil – for frying
3/4 cup Manischewitz Potato Starch
Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Add chicken cutlet pieces and mix well to coat evenly. Cover and place in fridge for at least a half hour.
Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Heat oil in a saucepan and sauté onions and garlic until golden, about 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Boil for two minutes and remove from heat.
Remove marinated chicken pieces from fridge. Heat a generous amount of oil in a large frying pan. Dip chicken pieces into potato starch and fry a few minutes on each side, until golden. Drain in a pan lined with paper towels. Repeat until all the chicken is used up.
Halfway through, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Place all the chicken pieces in a 9×13-inch aluminum pan. Pour sauce over chicken until pieces are evenly coated. Bake for a half hour, uncovered. You can cover it part of the time if you see that the sauce is getting completely absorbed.
Put a small amount of mashed potatoes in a ring form on a plate. Remove ring. Spoon chicken pieces over mashed potatoes. Drizzle with sauce. Garnish with greens of your choice.

Schnitzel Pieces with Special Red Sauce I would make this for supper a day in advance. Can I fry the chicken & refrigerate in advance and then heat up with sauce?
YOu could. But it loses something to have it a day after it’s fried..
if you do it a day in advance, i would bread the chicken make them ready but not fry them till the day i need it. Just leave the frying for the day of
Pesach Ketchup Substitute This presentation is definitely beautiful! We don’t use garlic on Pesach so I always omit that ingredient. What can I do to substitute ketchup in a recipe?
What about tomato paste watered down?
What about kosher for passover ketchup? Gefen has one without corn syrup and no garlic either.
HEAVEN. no other words. I’ve been making this for a few years now and it has become a family fave!
I actually used the sauce recipe for this for some tofu schnitzel I made for our vegannukah meal. The tofu is pretty bland so we needed something to enhance the dish and this ketchup based sauce was incredible. It almost is like a less smokey version of BBQ sauce. Just perfect. Thank you!
