We’ve all made different versions of this classic dish over the years. I changed up some of the ingredients and suggested some fabulous additions to the crumbs. Of course, you can fry the schnitzel, but why would you want to when they come out so soft and flavorful this way? Plus your stovetop stays clean! P.S. Don’t forget the dipping sauce. It’s amazing!

Ingredients

Schnitzel

  • 1 pound (450 grams) chicken cutlets

  • 1/4 cup Glicks Flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 2 tablespoons Glicks Ketchup

  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoon Gefen Mayonnaise (light is fine)

  • 1 teaspoon paprika, preferably in oil

  • 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste (slightly warmed)

  • salt, to taste (be generous)

  • pepper, to taste (be generous)

  • Gefen Bread Crumbs, for coating

  • a handful sesame seeds

  • 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning, or to taste (optional)

  • crushed Bissli or corn chips (optional)

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped or minced or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 3/4 cup plum jam (see note)

  • 1/4 cup water

Directions

Prepare the Schnitzel

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper and spray generously with cooking spray.

2.

Pound cutlets thinly and set aside. Pour flour and sugar into a small plate and mix. Combine eggs, mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, paprika, honey, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Warm in microwave for 30 seconds (it’ll stick to the cutlets better).

3.

Combine bread crumbs and sesame seeds in a large flat plate. Add Montreal steak seasoning and crushed Bissli or corn chips, if desired.

4.

Dip each cutlet in the flour mixture, then in egg and spices, and finally roll in the crumb mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Continue until all the cutlets are done. Cover loosely with a piece of parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes.

5.

Turn cutlets over and continue baking, covered, for an additional 10 minutes or until ready. Uncover during the last minute. Remove from oven.

6.

Serve with dipping sauce and French fries.

Prepare the Dipping Sauce

1.

Heat oil in a small saucepan and add garlic. Sauté just until fragrant.

2.

Add rest of ingredients. Mix over low heat until smooth and bubbling, about five minutes.

Tips:

Both the baked schnitzel and the dipping sauce can be frozen (separately). Any leftover sauce can be smeared on chicken pieces and baked for one and 1/2 hours covered and 1/2 hour uncovered. It’s delicious!

Notes:

I used homemade plum jam made with apple juice concentrate. Since I wanted the sauce to be a tad sweeter, I included one tablespoon of honey. If your jam is very sweet, you can omit it. Taste and adjust if necessary.
