Breaded shnitzel- cubed?

I want to make breaded shnitzel but don't have slices, just a block which will be easiest to cut into cubes (as if for a stir fry). Can I do it with cubes? how?
usually, I coat the sliced shnitzel in ketchup then bread crumbs, but I don't think I can do that with cubes.
any ideas please (and fast, I need to make it for shabbos)?
TIA

why don't you try the recipe that was posted a while ago that had breaded chicken cubes, pastrami and mashed potatoes. Defy Gravity posted it.(I think)

I made it when she posted it and it was delicious!

if you want just the chicken, it would be quite tedious to bread all those little pieces, why don't you try putting them in a bowl, spritzing ketchup (or mayo) and mixing it all together with a spoon, then sprinkling the crumbs on top. That would definitely be easier than doing each piece at a time. Then you can either fry it or bake it single layer.

I made breaded shnitzel in cubes also. just do it the same way you usually do, only mix all the cubes at once in ketchup (I do it in mayo or egg) and then pour breadcrumbs over and then fried... (or baked)

I use little pieces of chicken all the time. I fill a ziploc bag with Italian dressing (in your case, use ketchup) and another bag with breadcrumbs.

Put the chicken into the ziploc bag with ketchup first, mush it around so the chicken is completely covered, and then toss several pieces of chicken at a time in the second bag filled with bread crumbs.

This is how I usually make shnitzel, it's much easier than dipping the chicken into mixtures that are in bowls. It provided for much better coverage.

I use the ziploc bags method for shnitzel all the time, especially when the chicken is cut up in smaller pieces. It's much faster, you can whip them up in a really short time.

Two Words, Poultry scissors.

One of the best kitchen gadgets there is, you can turn your block of chicken into thin slices!!!
