This is one of our family’s favorite chicken recipes and is especially good for Rosh Hashana. When I made this for a cooking class, this turned out to be the favorite of all the foods that my wife and I made.
If you want to make your own kishke try our recipe here.

- ⅔ cup apricot jam

- Editor’s Note – This recipe is chosen as a finalist in the chicken recipe contest. A few notes – the kishka should be sliced into 10 pieces at least with 10 chicken cutlets, we found the apricot jelly hard to work with and would suggest duck sauce, a delicious dish.

Where do you get ready made kishe in Israel?
Where are you finding or making kishka
I made this a couple of times… Always a hit! I find jam and honey too sweet so use honey mustard or ducksauce instead… Recipe is from Susie Fischbeins book…
I make a variation of this by filling the boneless chicken breast with kishka then then wrapping it in a square of filo or puff pastry which has been brushed inside with deli mustard. If you do want to achieve a shiny finish to the “package”, melt some apricot or apple jelly and then brush it on. Now, that’s YUMMO!!!!!
i am going to try the new Gefen Fusion Duck Sauce with it..should be delish
PS—I used the apricot jelly but I warmed it up a bit in the microwave to loosen it–I had no problem.
This is delicious–I did a trial run for Rosh Hashonah dinner #2.
Wow! Thumbs up from me! 🙂
sounds yummy!!!!!
Use Gold’s Duck Sauce. It’s the tastiest!
sorry, the idea of combining kishke with apricot jam sounds gross to me…
Yummo!!!
