  • 1 tsp water
  • 1 ½ cups matzah meal
  • ½ cup almond meal
  • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp dried parsley
  • ½ Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Vegetable or canola oil for frying

Directions

    While chicken is still hot from pan, sprinkle each cutlet with additional pinch of salt.
