Good morning everyone! Ekaterina is in touch with you. I have not published meat dishes for a long time, I am correcting myself. 🙂 Today I will show you the most popular cutlet recipes, and not the most ordinary ones, but very unusual ones made from minced chicken.

Two years ago, I didn’t even suspect about such sweets, I always made and ate traditional ones, from beef and pork. This type, like the classic ones, can also be frozen for good, and then quickly into a frying pan or into the oven. And voila chicken meatballs on the table!

This option is the easiest and most traditional, probably everyone cooks according to it without exception. Because it is very simple, absolutely no extra ingredients. These cutlets are served in our school cafeteria. Cutlets will be breaded, keep this in mind.

We will need:

• Minced chicken - 1 kg;Chicken egg - 2 pcs.Onion - 2 pcs. Salt - to taste Pepper - to taste Flour - 2 tbsp. Breadcrumbs for breading - 200gVegetable oil - for frying

1. Put the finished chicken mince into a clean cup, salt and stir, then pepper to taste. Beat in one or two eggs.

2. With your own hands, knead thoroughly, mix this consistency.

If the stuffing turned out to be liquid, do not be discouraged, add a little flour to it, about 4 tablespoons of flour and the problem will disappear by itself.

3. Prepare breadcrumbs for felting our meat lumps. I prefer to buy ready-made breadcrumbs, do you make your own? Once I even bought them with spices, it turned out very tasty.

4. With your hands, first form balls from the meat mixture, and then flatten them with your hands, make them round or oval. Roll in breadcrumbs and voila, they are already in the pan!

Important! Before frying, you need to heat the pan with vegetable oil well, then reduce the heat, and then fry.

Cover and fry for about 3 minutes, when you open the lid you can see a slightly golden edge, which means it's time to turn them over to the other side.

5. These handsome men turned out to be very juicy and fragrant from the most important tasty and dietary ingredient, like fragrant chicken.

Chicken cutlets in the oven, baked with cheese

This option is simply amazingly tasty, because potatoes and processed cheese are used in the composition. Potatoes give softness, and cheese gives tenderness and a creamy shade, as well as juiciness to such fragrant cutlets. And most importantly, this dish is baked directly in the oven, which means it is also healthy. Can you imagine how tempting it already sounds?

Try it, you will definitely like it!

We will need:

1. Chicken fillet needs to be chopped, beaten so that it turns into gruel, approximately like this, as shown in the figure. If you do not have much time, just twist the fillet pieces in a blender.

2. Grate melted cheese best on a fine grater. Then add to the chicken mixture. Peeled fresh potatoes, too, quickly grate and add to the same place.

Important! Instead of potato chips, you can take zucchini, for example, in summer, when it's the season, with zucchini it will turn out even softer

3. Pepper, salt, add your favorite herbs and spices. I like to add ground coriander or curry.

4. Take a ceramic mold, I love such molds because nothing sticks to them and they are harmless to our health than non-stick ones. Lubricate it with a silicone brush or regular, refined vegetable oil over the entire surface.

5. Form with your hands or with a tablespoon of our chicken dumplings 😆

6. Separate the whites from the yolks. You only need protein, it needs to be beaten a little with a whisk.

7. Brush the top of the cutlets with protein. Then coat them in breadcrumbs.

8. Bake at a temperature of 180 degrees for about 20 minutes on one side, and then turn them over, coat the other side again with whipped protein and sprinkle with breadcrumbs, put in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.

Such a beauty turned out, no doubt it will be impossible to break away from such yummy!

I consider this recipe a classic, so I will dwell on it in more detail. In addition, I will illustrate it with photographs of each step. Thanks to this, you can easily prepare a delicious homemade meal.

And of course, it turns out not only tasty, but also tender, fragrant, and very beautiful. Both adults and children eat it with pleasure.

We will need:

• minced chicken - 600 gr
• egg - 1 pc
• white loaf - 3-4 pieces
• milk - 130 - 150 ml
• salt - to taste
• ground black pepper - to taste
• spices - to taste
• garlic - 1-2 cloves optional

Cooking:

1. Prepare minced meat in one of the ways, either by twisting it through a meat grinder, or by finely chopping it. I use frozen twisted minced meat, which I freeze in such a way that it thaws very quickly for me.

And the secret is very simple, when you lay out the finished minced meat in packages, then put it not in a lump, but in a flat cake.

That is, first place the twisted meat in a bag, and then in the same place it will need to be flattened into a cake according to the size and shape of the bag. It is more convenient to store such meat in the refrigerator, it takes up much less space there. And it also defrosts very quickly.

Depending on the room temperature, the meat will defrost in about an hour.

2. Cut the white loaf into thin pieces. If you use a thick loaf, such as "Rifled", then it will be enough to take 3 pieces. If the loaf is thin, such as "Baguette", then use 4-5 pieces. Put the pieces in a bowl.

The stems can be cut off beforehand. But I decided to leave. What good to disappear?!

3. Fill the loaf with milk. To get started, take 100 ml, pour it into a bowl with bread. Then add the missing milk. Its final amount depends on the amount of bread. Sufficient can be considered such an amount when the whole loaf absorbs milk and becomes soft. However, liquid milk should not remain in the bowl.

When the loaf softens, it will need to be crumbled with your hands, or chopped with a fork into gruel. If suddenly, for some reason, you poured milk, then its remnants will need to be slightly squeezed out.

4. In the meantime, the loaf is infused and soaked with milk, let's take care of the onions. I prefer not to twist it through a meat grinder, but just finely chop it. The advantage of this method is that the twisted onion becomes very liquid, and this is useless for minced meat.

When the filling is dense in consistency, it is possible to form blanks of the thickness you need. And you can be sure in this case that when frying, they will not spread, and will not become flat, like cakes.

Therefore, the peeled onion must first be cut into thin half rings, and then cut into very small cubes. The smaller their size is, the tastier and more tender the finished products will turn out.

You don't need to cut into thick pieces. Since the frying time of the cutlets will be very short in time, it is necessary that he has time to cook and not crunch on his teeth.

5. If you like the combination of chicken meat with garlic, then a clove or two should also be chopped as finely as possible. You can even use a press for this.

I decided not to use garlic. My grandchildren are visiting today, and they don’t like it in dishes. And you see how you decide.

6. Mix minced meat with onion and garlic (if you decide to add it).

7. Grind the loaf with your hands or a fork and add it to the total mass. Its presence in minced meat is not necessary in order to increase the amount of filling. It is used for the reason that with it the finished products will acquire the same tenderness and softness.

And also it will be used here as a fastening element.

8. Salt and pepper the mass to taste. Mix until smooth. You can add your favorite spices suitable for chicken. I add chopped dried herbs, a little (a pinch) of ground coriander and ginger. All this will give our dish an attractive aroma and additional notes of taste.

If you do not use spices in cooking, then do not add. The meatballs are going to be delicious. And whoever decides to add it, you might like it more, and after that you will reconsider your attitude to spices.

9. Break the egg into the mass and mix again until smooth. The stuffing should turn out dense and elastic. If the finished mass is placed in a spoon and turned over at an angle, then the mass should not drain from the spoon, but fall in a common lump.

It is quite easy to beat off the minced meat. To do this, you need to pick it up in your hand and throw it onto a hard surface with a slight effort. You can do this either in a bowl or on a cutting board. It is enough to do this for 2-3 minutes.

11. Let the mixture lie down for 5 minutes, so that all the components are evenly distributed in it for sure. But do not hold it for a long time, the colder it is, the easier it will be to form blanks from it. If you cooked minced meat, but for some reason postponed the cooking time, then cover it with a plate and put it away for the time being, until the time in the refrigerator.

12. If we are preparing the dish right away, then you need to pour oil into the pan and heat it to a state in which we will fry. Do not pour a lot of oil, it is not at all necessary that the products “bath” in it. It is enough to pour on the bottom, and even then, not at all a thick layer.

13. Prepare water at room temperature in a bowl, moisten your hands in it and form blanks of the same size, place them in a frying pan. Shape them thick and fluffy. How you shape them is how they will turn out. For convenience, first roll the ball, put it in the pan, and then flatten it slightly. This will keep you from getting burned by the hot oil.

14. Fry the blanks until golden brown over medium heat. The frying time on each side will be approximately 8-10 minutes (plus, minus a little).

When you fry the first side, do not cover with a lid. So a golden crust will form faster.

15. When the blanks are turned over, you can cover the pan with a lid. So, they will not only be fried, but also perfectly steamed inside. This is important, since no one wants to eat the finished product raw inside.

When the other side is also covered with a beautiful crust, this will be a signal that they are completely ready. You can remove them from a hot surface. If you do not eat fatty, then put the finished products for a short time on a layer of paper towels. They will absorb excess oil, and the product, while remaining no less tasty, will also be more useful.

16. We fried the first batch, but we still have minced meat. However, a small brown soot appeared in the pan. If you fry on it, then it will stick to the bottom of the next mortgaged batch, which will prevent you from achieving a beautiful appearance. In addition, there was practically no oil left. Therefore, we scrape off everything superfluous with a silicone spatula, wipe the frying surface with a paper towel.

Put it back on the fire and pour some new oil. We let him warm up and form the next batch. We fry it properly until cooked. The second batch will turn out as ruddy and beautiful as the first.

17. Arrange beautifully on a platter and serve with any side dish. In addition, while our dish was fried, we had free time to prepare some simple salad and a side dish. A vegetable addition to any meat dish will come in handy.

Serve and eat healthy! The dish turned out, as we expected, very tender, not greasy at all, and just melting in your mouth. In addition, it is very pleasing that they have not fallen off, have a beautiful magnificent shape and excite the appetite with their appearance.

From this amount of ingredients, a fairly decent amount of finished products was obtained. Depending on what size they are formed, you will get 11-12 pieces. What size they turned out can be seen in the photo.

The quantity turned out to be not small, and therefore the cutlets remained on the second day. But they were so enticing with their appearance and smell that I had to arrange a second dinner. But he was already without a side dish. We simply put the cutlet that had already cooled down on bread and ate such a peculiar sandwich, washing it down with hot tea. It was delicious…

We decided that we can fry them to make various burgers. In this case, you can use a grill pan for frying.

The next day they ate them again, but with a different side dish. All this time they lay in the refrigerator, and we just warmed them up. They didn't lose their taste at all, they remained just as tasty as on the first day. Another plus, you cook only once, and you can eat for two days, and without loss of quality. Even if some people don't understand me. For example, I know that in some countries, food is prepared only for one meal, and not otherwise.

So, if you are cooking for one meal, then feel free to halve the amount of ingredients, or calculate these proportions in accordance with how many servings you want to receive.

Well, that's the whole recipe. Simultaneously simple and delicious. And I think that thanks to the step-by-step description and the presented photos, everything is quite clear, and cooking will not cause difficulties even for novice hostesses, or men who also love to cook. Now there are many of them, which is very pleasing!)

Juicy chicken cutlets from homemade minced meat with mushrooms, baked in the oven

This recipe is a little more complicated than the first one, but when you try to cook it at least once, you will understand that the time was well spent. My family is spoiled for variety of delicious food. But when I cook such cutlets, invariably, every time, rave reviews sound.

And indeed, from a set of the simplest ingredients, you can cook a delicious restaurant-level dish.

I have had this recipe for quite some time now. I used to collect clippings of recipes from newspapers and magazines, and I was probably not alone. So I have just such clippings preserved. And one of the dishes, the recipe of which is given there, is called “Kislovodsk Cutlets”.

And although the newspaper clipping has long turned yellow from time to time, the recipe is fresh and in demand. And I must say that it produces one of the most delicious and fragrant meatballs that I only know.

We will need:

• minced chicken - 500 gr
• butter - 25-30 gr (1 tablespoon)
• salt - to taste
• egg - 1 pc
• flour - 2 tbsp. spoons
• breadcrumbs - 2 tbsp. spoons
• frying oil - 100-130 ml

For filling:

• frozen mushrooms - 100 gr
• egg - 1 pc
• onion – 1 pc.
• butter - 50-60 gr (2 tablespoons)
• salt - to taste
• oil for frying - 2-3 tbsp. spoons

From this amount of ingredients, 4 large finished products will be obtained.

Cooking:

1. For this dish, it is best to use homemade minced meat. Cutlets will turn out very tasty, appetizing and tender if you take skinless breasts for minced meat.

Cut the breast into long strips and twist through a meat grinder on a large grill. Or it can be finely chopped.

If the minced meat is already twisted and stored in the freezer, then you need to get it in advance. Keep in mind that it will take at least 2 hours to defrost. It is not recommended to defrost it in the microwave, as well as placing the freezer bag in hot water. This affects the quality of the product, and often the taste.

2. Hard boil an egg.

3. Cut the onion into small cubes. To make this easier to do, first cut the onion halves into thin half rings, and only then cut them into cubes.

4. Fry the onion in oil until light golden brown. Do not use a lot of oil so that the dish does not turn out to be too oily.

5. You can use any mushrooms for the filling. If there are dry mushrooms, then they must first be soaked, then boiled in salt water and cut into small cubes.

Boil fresh mushrooms in salted water for 20 minutes, then cool and cut into smaller pieces.

I use frozen mushrooms. These are aspen mushrooms, or as we call them redheads. I specially took them to play on the contrast of colors - the meat is light, and the mushrooms are dark. The finished dish will be interesting to eat. It will be possible to cut the cutlet with a knife, and study what is inside.

My mushrooms are already chopped, although not finely enough for the filling. Therefore, I rinse them in cold water and immediately begin to cut smaller.

6. By this time, the onion is already slightly reddened, and you can add mushrooms to it. Fry over low heat with stirring for 7 minutes. This time was enough for me to fully cook the mushrooms. You don't need to fry them until they start to brown. This will make them taste dry.

If this starts to happen, then cover the pan with a lid.

During frying, the mass should be salted to taste.

7. Transfer mushrooms with onions to a separate bowl and let cool slightly.

8. Peel the egg and cut into small cubes. It is good to use an egg cutter for this, the cubes are small and neat.

Add egg to mushrooms and stir. Taste to taste, if it seems that there is not enough salt, then add as much as required.

We still have one more component for the filling - this is butter. But we won't rush into it just yet. Add just before laying the filling in the blanks so that it does not melt.

9. In the meantime, I have already thawed minced meat, and I'm going to do a couple more steps to bring it to the desired state. We need to add butter to it. But in order for it to connect well with meat, it is better to keep it at room temperature a little in advance. Otherwise, it will be difficult to mix it into minced meat.

Cold thawed minced meat and oil from the refrigerator will practically not be kneaded.

Adding butter to minced meat always makes the finished dish much more tender and tastier. In addition, as we remember, we use breasts for minced meat. And there is practically no fat in them. Therefore, the oil will just fill in the missing link. Without oil, the finished product will be somewhat dry.

10. Salt minced meat to taste. For about 0.5 kg of minced meat, you will need a little less than a teaspoon without a slide of salt. Although, this is purely individual. Who eats more food.

11. For complete readiness, minced meat must be beaten off. To do this, we collect a lump of minced meat in our hand and with a little effort we throw it into a bowl, or onto a cutting board. During this, air bubbles that are unnecessary in this matter will come out, and when forming blanks, they will be more durable. Beat the minced meat for one and a half to two minutes.

12. Cook egg, flour and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. It is better that all this be in flat plates. I cooked in deep, but when cooking, I poured flour and crackers onto the work surface of the table.

Beat the egg with a fork and season with salt to taste.

13. Add cold butter cut into small cubes into the filling.

14. Divide the cutlet mass into 4 equal parts. I will get 4 fairly large blanks, about one for one serving. If you want to cook them in a smaller size, then divide the minced meat by the amount you want to get.

But I must say that it will not be easy to form products. Therefore, it is easier for me personally to do this with large cutlets.

15. Moisten hands with water at room temperature and form koloboks first.

Then flatten them into cakes about 1 cm thick. If you make the cakes thinner, then the filling will certainly come out of it. And in this case, it will not be possible to form a blank.

16. Put the filling on each cake.

It should just be enough for 4 pieces. Raise the edges of the cake up, setting the desired shape. Moisten your hands again and take one of the blanks in the palm of your hand. Gently connect the edges and form cutlets.

17. Dip them in turn into the egg mixture, then into the flour and into the breadcrumbs. Pour immediately into the hot oil in the pan. You don't need to add a lot of oil. During frying, the butter in the minced meat will stand out, and the product will be fried in a mixture of two oils.

I want to warn you right away - this is the most crucial moment in the whole preparation. Forming blanks is the most difficult. Some skill is needed. The stuffing is quite soft and the filling will tend to jump out of the product. Especially when rolling in additional ingredients (egg, flour and breadcrumbs).

18. Fry over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side. As soon as the side is browned, immediately turn it over to the other side.

19. While the blanks are fried, turn on the oven. We will need a temperature of 180 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. No need to oil.

20. Put the fried products on a baking sheet and place them in a preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

After you take the finished products out of the oven, you will notice that excess oil has flowed out of them. And that's great. The finished dish will turn out delicious, and without the presence of excess fat. All that is needed is left, and all that is not needed is gone.

Such products no longer need to be laid out on paper towels to remove excess oil.

21. Serve cutlets with any side dish. I cooked . I tried to decorate the dish beautifully, laying it out in the form of a turret. It's easy to do. You just need to grease a dish that is suitable in size and shape, grease it with oil and fill it tightly with rice. Then cover with a flat plate and turn over. Rice in the form of a turret will easily slip out.

Well, it remains only to decorate the dish with fresh vegetables, or lay out a salad. Or, in extreme cases, decorate with sprigs of fresh herbs.

As you can see, the dish turned out quite appetizing and beautiful. But looks don't compare to taste. The taste turned out amazing. The very first piece that gets into the mouth causes just a flurry of taste emotions, which are extremely difficult to describe in words.

By the way, if you put a piece of cheese on a minced meat cake instead of mushroom filling, you will get an equally tasty dish.

And when cutting it into pieces, an appetizing cheese mass will flow out of it.

And if you dream up, then the filling can be prepared with meat, vegetable and even fruit. I'll tell you more about this later.

Subsequent recipes will be shorter. Because the basics of cooking are similar everywhere, and there are only nuances that we will try to focus on.

Video on how to fry delicious minced chicken cutlets with zucchini in a pan

This is a very simple way to prepare a delicious homemade dish. Cooking meatballs according to this recipe is easy, simple and fast. And this dish is very economical. When preparing it, we take as much zucchini as chicken meat. In this case, it turns out twice as many products, and you can save on meat. After all, zucchini is much cheaper.

Moreover, it will be difficult to even understand by taste that there is something else in the composition other than meat.

I suggest you watch this recipe in this short video story. In it, the author of the video tells and shows everything in detail.

By the way, instead of zucchini in this recipe, you can safely use grated potatoes. The cooking technology of the dish will remain the same, but the taste will change dramatically.

Cutlets are also very tasty when mashed potatoes are added to them. It happens that there is not much left, and neither there it nor here. And add it to minced meat, and here it is - a new and tasty dish!

And I'll share one little secret. Instead of zucchini and potatoes, you can add shredded in a combine, or grated cabbage. And it also makes a delicious simple dish.

So take note of the recipe and tips. It will definitely come in handy, and more than once.

Chicken cutlets with cheese

This recipe is also very simple. Although its taste is very refined and interesting. And the cutlets themselves are obtained, as it were, with a stretchy filling.

We will need:

• minced chicken - 600 gr
• hard or semi-hard cheese - 100-120 gr
• egg - 1 pc (or two yolks)
• onion – 1 pc.
• sour cream - 2 tbsp. spoons
• flour - 2 tbsp. spoons
• greens - to taste
• salt - to taste
• ground black pepper - optional
• vegetable oil - for frying

Cooking:

1. Prepare minced meat. Take either ready-made or frozen, or twist it yourself.

2. Add chopped onion and chopped greens to the minced meat. You can use dill, parsley, or both. It depends on taste preferences.

3. Grate the cheese on a medium grater. Introduce it into minced meat along with sour cream, flour and eggs. As you can see from the recipe, you can add only one yolks, or eggs.

In general, the question of adding eggs to minced meat is very controversial. Many believe that they make the finished dish tough. I won't argue with them, it's just a matter of taste. I can only say that I add eggs, and this does not greatly affect the taste of the finished product. But for skeptics, I suggest adding not eggs, but only yolks.

4. Salt to taste, add ground black pepper if you like the dish spicier. Mix the mass thoroughly and beat off. How to do this was told in both the first and second recipes.

In general, the issue of spices is also interesting. You can add them to minced meat if you want to get a more aromatic dish. So, for example, add nutmeg, coriander, paprika, thyme, or just a ready-made mixture for chicken meat.

5. Warm the pan and the oil on it. Moisten your hands with cool water, form blanks. Fry them on each side for 8-10 minutes. The fire must be medium. When you fry on the other side, then cover them with a lid so that they are well baked inside.

Similarly to this recipe, you can cook delicious homemade cutlets by adding cottage cheese instead of cheese. For half a kilogram of minced chicken, you need to take 200 grams of cottage cheese and 1 egg. All other ingredients can be used the same as we used for cooking with cheese. And the cooking method will also remain unchanged in this case.

Steam chicken cutlets from juicy minced meat with semolina

Minced chicken is rather loose in itself, and therefore, in order for the products to retain their predetermined shape during formation and frying, various fastening components are added to the minced meat. This is primarily an egg, a loaf, flour, oatmeal and, of course, semolina.

By and large, the recipe differs little from those already proposed above, but still I’ll tell you about it in a little more detail.

We will need:

• minced chicken - 600 gr
• semolina - 4 tbsp. spoons
• egg - 2 pcs
• onion - 1 pc (large)
• sour cream - 2 tbsp. spoons with a small hill
• frying oil

You can add garlic if you wish. True, children do not really like it in the finished dish, but many adults respect it very much, and consider adding it to minced meat as a prerequisite for obtaining a delicious result. If you want to add it, then it will be enough to cook just one clove.

And we also need flour for breading. Approximately two tablespoons.

Cooking:

I will describe the process very briefly, since it repeats the options already described today.

1. Prepare minced meat. Either by skipping chicken meat without tendons, skin and fat in a meat grinder on your own, or by using a ready-made one. You can also use frozen minced meat, but of course it should be thawed in advance at room temperature.

2. Cut the onion into small cubes. The finer you cut, the more uniform the taste of the finished products will be, and what is important - the onion will not crunch on your teeth in this case.

3. Mix all the ingredients from the recipe in a bowl, salt to taste. If desired, add the necessary spices, salt and black pepper. Leave for 25-30 minutes to infuse, it is advisable to cover the contents with a lid. Semolina during this time should swell and connect all the components.

4. Moisten your hands in water and form not very large blanks. So that they are all of equal size, the cutlet mass can be taken with a tablespoon, and only then begin to form them.

5. Roll the finished products in flour and put in a pan, fry on both sides for a couple of minutes. Then pour some water and close the lid. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until done.

If fried food cannot be consumed at all, and there are also restrictions on the intake of oil, then you can not fry at all, but immediately pour some water and keep it under the lid until cooked. Thus, we get steam chicken cutlets.

Of course, if there is a double boiler, then you can steam cutlets in it. But this way is also possible. In this case, the dish can be cooked without oil at all. In this case, it turns out to be dietary and is shown to people who are on a diet.

Cutlets can also be fried. How to do this you can see There is also a video. I invite you to view.

Of course, there are a lot of recipes for cooking chicken cutlets. You can even say that there are so many of them - as long as the imagination of those who cook them is enough.

Everyone brings a piece of their idea to the recipe, and the recipe only benefits from this. We have already tried to consider some of the main nuances in today's article, and we prepared classic cutlets, with cheese and mushroom filling, and looked at how to cook them with zucchini. We also considered theoretically that they can be cooked with raw and boiled potatoes, with cabbage, with cottage cheese. And as a fixer, use semolina or oatmeal.

• Also, I have not yet said that minced chicken products can be prepared with the addition of buckwheat, or any other cereal.
• Any vegetables can also be used in cooking.
• I have come across recipes that use not only vegetables, but also fruits (apple, apricots, pineapples…)
• You can also add pieces of bacon, jerky, ham and other meat products to minced meat.

I always try to keep some minced meat in reserve in the freezer. At the same time, I try not to buy it ready-made, but I always cook it myself.

When I see that the store has a good offer to buy chicken, I immediately buy 3-4 pieces. I bring it home and cut it into pieces. Legs separately, wings separately, meat on the bone in a special bag. Then, at any time, you can also quickly prepare hearty broth, light soup, or a delicious second course from them.

But I cook minced meat from chicken breasts. At the same time, so that it is not too oily, I remove the skin. Then it turns out very tender, and very tasty. But you can do it at will. Who loves more. Moreover, you can cook minced meat in two ways.

1. Twisting the meat in a meat grinder. It is better to do this through a large grill so that the meat turns into pieces. And unlike regular meat, chicken should only be twisted once. There is no need to make it in the form of a liquid slurry.
2. You can not twist the meat, but chop. Such minced meat is called - chopped. In this case, the size of the pieces can be varied independently. But it is clear that the smaller you cut, the faster it will cook.

Here are some tips, tricks and recipes. And guided by the advice of the last chapter, you can safely fantasize and come up with your own delicious options. It's very interesting, let me tell you. Every time you conjure up the next cooking method, you always get pleasure from the fact that you were able to “create” a new delicious dish on your own!

In order for chicken cutlets to turn out juicy, you need to observe the correct proportion of ingredients. Minced meat before sculpting should be kept in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour. To form cutlets - meatballs need to be at least 1 cm high so as not to overdry the meat during frying.

Ingredients:

Chicken fillet- 1 kg

White bread- 250 grams

Bulb onions- 200 grams

Delicious chicken cutlets are ready

Bon appetit!

Chicken cutlets are not only tasty, but also a healthy dish. No wonder it is chicken cutlets that are recommended to be given to children or people who need to follow a diet. You can cook chicken cutlets in different ways. They are good both fried, and baked, and after steaming.

However, not all housewives turn out juicy chicken cutlets. Although in fact, in order not to spoil this dish, you need to follow a few simple tips.

Secrets of cooking juicy chicken cutlets

In addition to meat, the main ingredients of any cutlets are eggs, bread and onions. It is thanks to them that the cutlets do not fall apart and turn out juicy and very tasty. But unlike its meat counterpart, minced chicken does not tolerate excess additional products. Therefore, it is very important to observe the correct proportions.

Start with eggs. This ingredient is the same glue that prevents the dish from falling apart in the pan. But there is a caveat, if you add too many eggs to the minced meat, then the cutlets will become too tough. Experts believe that it is optimal to add 2-3 eggs per 1 kg of minced chicken. When you cook homemade minced chicken, especially from fresh chicken fillet - hens, you can not add eggs at all, the cutlets will turn out to be very tender and juicy.

Regarding bread, the opinion of experienced chefs is divided. Some prefer to put white crumb soaked in milk in minced meat. Other cooks advise using ground crackers, as they absorb excess moisture, making the cutlets juicy. In principle, both are right. You can even use starch, oatmeal, or plain flour. So here every hostess is free to do as she pleases. Well, or do as indicated in the recipe. As for the proportions, the opinions of professionals agree on this issue: 250 g of bread is enough for a kilogram of minced meat.

Now about the bow. This ingredient is needed to give the cutlets a special taste. In addition, cutlets with onions are more juicy. It can be added both raw and fried. In the first case, it is recommended to pass the onion through a meat grinder. Otherwise, he may not have time to cook, because chicken meat is fried quickly enough. But the best option is to add finely chopped and already fried onions to the minced meat. And cutlets will be tastier, and undercooked onions will not crunch on your teeth. But the amount of onion should not be large. This can make the taste of cutlets quite sharp. The best option is 200 g of onion for every kilogram of minced meat.

And a few words about the stuffing itself. Chicken meat really cooks incredibly fast. So it’s not worth doing too “thin” minced meat. This, of course, applies to a homemade product. By the way, it is best to make it from chicken breast, since it is this part of the bird that is the most tender and beneficial for the human body. You can also add some chicken fat to the minced meat. This will make the finished dish juicier. But turning the skin through a meat grinder is not worth it. She can ruin everything.

When all the ingredients are added to the chopped meat, the minced meat should be allowed to brew in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
