Option 1: Chopped chicken cutlets - classic recipe

Anyone can cook chopped chicken cutlets; you don’t need to have any special culinary skills or source exotic ingredients. The main advantage of this dish will be its tenderness, if, of course, you follow the recipe exactly. For cooking, it is best to buy breasts that have already been peeled, rather than whole chicken.

Ingredients:

• 720 grams of chicken fillet;
• 3 eggs;
• 4 tbsp. spoons of sour cream;
• 1 onion;
• 3 tbsp. spoons of starch.

Step-by-step recipe for chopped chicken cutlets

Chop and fry the onion, mix with chicken.

Probably everyone has tried chopped chicken cutlets with mayonnaise at least once in their life. Their delicate taste and juiciness are unforgettable. Those who don’t like mayonnaise can replace it with low-fat sour cream, although then the cutlets may begin to stick to the pan during frying and the classic taste will change slightly. The cooking process comes down to two stages: preparing the minced meat and directly frying the cutlets. To prevent the onion from crunching in the finished cutlets, the minced meat must be marinated before frying by adding vinegar, mustard and a drop of vegetable oil. Thanks to the oil, naturally dry chicken breast will become more tender and juicy. It’s best to marinate the minced meat for a couple of hours, but you can safely leave it overnight, just don’t forget to put it in the refrigerator.

Option 4: Chopped chicken cutlets with pumpkin

Chopped chicken fillet cutlets turn out even tastier if you mix the minced meat with pumpkin. The finished cutlets will come out tender and golden. Of course, this dish will especially appeal to those who love pumpkin. By the way, for the cutlets to be successful, it is important to choose it correctly. The fruit should be rich in color, without cuts or dents, with a dry stalk. If there is a dull sound when you tap the pumpkin, it means it is fresh. Before mixing the pumpkin with meat, you need to finely grind it.

• 400 grams of chicken fillet;
• 150 grams of pumpkin;
• 2 eggs;
• 1 onion;
• 3 tbsp. spoons of sour cream;

Combine all ingredients, add salt, mix thoroughly, leave for twenty minutes in a cool place.

Form cutlets from the prepared pumpkin-meat mixture.

Fry all the cutlets in oil for seven minutes on both sides. It's better not to use too much of it so that the cutlets don't turn out greasy.

Pumpkin in cutlets greatly increases their benefits, as it contains many microelements and vitamins. For example, B6, which improves vision, A and E, which nourish and moisturize the skin, thereby slowing down the aging process. Eating pumpkin reduces stomach acidity and helps reduce excess weight due to l-caratine, which breaks down fats. This berry is a folk remedy for the treatment of mastopathy, so it is especially useful for women to eat pumpkin.

Option 5: Chopped chicken cutlets with cheese

Cheese will give regular chicken cutlets a delicate creamy taste. You can cook with both processed and any hard cheese, but it is better to take it without various additives, such as mushrooms and ham. And control the richness of taste with the help of seasonings and spices. You can also add fresh herbs: green onions, parsley or cilantro. You should definitely take a white loaf for croutons, cut it into small cubes and dry it a little in the oven. If you don’t want to waste time on this, you can buy ready-made croutons, but only without spices and not in oil.

Ingredients:

• 850 grams of chicken fillet;
• 120 grams of cheese;
• 1 onion;
• 1 egg;
• loaf.

Step by step recipe

Finely chop the loaf and chicken.

Place the bread on a baking sheet and dry in the oven or microwave.

Melt the butter, grate the cheese, mix everything and put it in the freezer for fifteen minutes.

Combine chicken, onion and egg and mix thoroughly.

Make cakes from the minced meat, put a small piece of the cheese-butter mixture in each, and press the edges together.

Roll the cutlets in breadcrumbs until they press down.

Fry the cutlets in a frying pan.

Place the cutlets on a baking sheet, cover with foil and cook in the oven for half an hour at 175 Cº.

If you don’t want to bother with the oven, you can pour a couple of tablespoons of water on the cutlets and simmer for about half an hour, covering the pan with a lid.

Vitamin A helps improve vision, and iron reduces the risk of anemia.

Cutlets (Cotelette) is a meat dish invented by French chefs. The first cutlets were not really cutlets, but beef on the bone, which was handled by hand. Then came the chops. Minced meat cutlets appeared much later and are considered the invention of Russian chefs.

If we compare the first cutlets on the bone and chopped, then the second treat is considered modern.

Chopped cutlets can be made from pork, chicken, turkey, goose, duck and even fish. The peculiarity of chopped cutlets is that the meat is not passed through a meat grinder, but is cut into cubes. Main ingredients: meat, onion, flour, egg, spices. Additional products - bread, herbs, mayonnaise, cheese, sour cream, yogurt, carrots, garlic, starch, fruits.
