Chicken cutlets

Step-by-step recipe:

Step 1:

Prepare the minced meat. Pass the chicken fillet through a meat grinder. Set aside in a bowl.

Step 2:

Pass the onion and garlic through a meat grinder directly into the bowl with the minced meat.

Step 3:

Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly with your hands.

Step 4:

Add the loaf softened in milk and mix until smooth.

Step 5:

Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add butter and a little vegetable oil.

Step 6:

Place the breadcrumb-coated cutlets in a frying pan and fry for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 7:

Pour in 100 ml of water, cover the pan with a lid, and reduce the heat. Simmer for 5–7 minutes.

Step 8:

Serve the finished cutlets with a side dish (buckwheat, rice, vegetables).

Cooking tips:

Use fresh chicken breast without skin and cartilage - this will ensure a tender texture.

Don't overdo it with breadcrumbs - they are needed for binding, not for dryness.

If the cutlets are falling apart, add an egg or a little flour.

For juiciness, you can add 1 tbsp. sour cream or yogurt to the minced meat.

Do not open the lid while simmering - this will retain moisture and keep the cutlets soft.
