My Schnitzel Recipe, (Or Fried Chicken Tenders)

Ashrei's Note:

B"H This recipe makes an awesome crunchy fried chicken tender. Everyone raves about how good this schnitzel is. It's just a modification of the recipe my mother used for fried chicken, but using matzo meal instead of flour. I make several pounds at a time and freeze it for later use. It freezes well and is great hot or cold!

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4-6

Yield: 8.0 pieces

• 3 fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts

Directions:

1. Rinse chicken breast in cold water.
2. Pound to 1/4" thickness with flat side of meat tenderizer.
3. Slice chicken into strips or nuggets.
4. In a medium sized, flat bottomed dish, combine matzo meal, garlic salt and pepper. Mix well.
5. In a separate flat bottomed dish, combine beaten eggs and creamer, or soy milk, or rice milk. Mix well.

7. Dip chicken strips one at a time into egg and milk mixture. Then dip the egg soaked strip into the matzo meal mixture to coat.
8. DIP THE STRIP A SECOND TIME into the egg mixture and once again into the matzo meal to coat.
