Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of thinly sliced chicken breast
  • Equal parts honey and Dijon mustard (make sure the breasts are fully coated in it)
  • 1 tablespoon of Jerusalem spice blend (if you don’t have this, combine equal parts cumin, coriander, allspice, garlic, and paprika)
  • 1 teaspoon of Zaa’tar
  • 1 Pack of Matza Meal
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups of canola or vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. Combine your spices with honey and the mustard, and fully coat the chicken in it.
  2. Once coated, dip in matza meal until fully coated.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan and wait for it to sizzle.
  4. Cook chicken in the oil on high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. Avoid moving the chicken around too much in the pot, this will make the matza meal fall off.
  6. Place chicken on a plate with a paper towel to soak up the oil, and let it cool.
  7. Serve with a side of rice or garlic mashed potatoes and enjoy!
