How to make chicken cutlets for Shabbos that don't dry out?

I feel like anytime I try to make any recipe with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for Shabbos, they get dry and don't taste that good. It's a bigger problem for Shabbos day, but it happens even on Friday night. I usually cook Thursday night since I work pretty late on Fridays.

Give me an example of how you keep your schnitzel good.

What about a sesame chicken recipe? Or onion chicken fingers? etc.

Before you use the cutlets, soak them in a mixture of baking soda and water for at least half an hour. Rinse and use regularly and they'll stay soft and moist. They'll be almost like dark chicken

Grill em! I don't have a real grill but I use a grill pan. As long as you don't cut them open until ready to serve, they're still moist and delicious for lunch.

I find that those are the ones that dry out the most...

Dip in mixture of ketchup & mayonnaise, bread them, spray with a bit of oil, bake uncovered at 350 for 20 min.

As others mentioned, mayo really keeps the schnitzel moist. I used to just do an egg mixture and breadcrumbs and they would dry out quickly. Now I do equal parts eggs and mayo and mix well with a fork to make a consistency similar to pudding. That alone keeps it moist but I also double dip them. Egg/mayo, breadcrumbs, egg/mayo, breadcrumbs. It seals in the egg/mayo mixture and keeps the breadcrumbs on the chicken. DH is a huge fan of schnitzel since I started doing it this way.

Edited to add that schnitzel baked doesn't need more than about 35 minutes in the oven and 35 minutes is for the thick cutlets. Thinner cutlers only need to be cooked for about 20-30 minutes. The longer schntizel cooks, the drier it gets.

I marinate them in an oil based marinade for a few hours and then grill

I actually do the double-dip, as well, but not the mayo... I'll try that one, thanks!
