Every summer, thousands of women attend the Lottie’s Kitchen event in Deal, NJ, a fundraiser for Ezer Mitzion in Israel. The event features food demonstrations back-to back throughout the day. A version of this chicken was demonstrated by Lisa Melamed. It’s become my family’s favorite—moist and sweet, without the need to fry.

Just made these. I liked what I tasted. I hope the kiddos do too!
Could this be made with whole cutlets? How long would you think those would bake for?
