Ingredients

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 cups matzah meal
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup canola oil

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally, then pound the halves to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Beat the eggs in one bowl. In a second bowl, mix the matzah meal with the paprika, oregano, salt, pepper and cayenne.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
  • Dredge each piece of chicken in the egg, shaking off the excess, then press into the matzah meal to coat both sides well. Place gently into the pan.
  • Sauté about 3 minutes per side, then move to a cooling rack so the excess oil drips off. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Finish in a 275°F oven for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
