Chicken breast cutlets with cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make juicy chicken breast cutlets with cheese? Take the following products: chicken breast, hard cheese, egg, mayonnaise, starch (or flour), salt, turmeric (or your favorite seasoning), oil for frying.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove the fillet from the chicken breast and cut it into small cubes. This is the most labor-intensive process in this recipe, but believe me, minced meat prepared in this way gives exactly those juicy cutlets! I learned this trick a long time ago, a chef I knew told me about it, when the Internet was just emerging and the recipe was not widely known.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add the remaining ingredients to the chopped breast: egg, finely grated hard cheese, starch, mayonnaise, turmeric. Salt the mixture. Sometimes I like to add finely chopped bell peppers, it turns out even more juicy and piquant. This is optional - a basic recipe is offered.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix the resulting minced meat well and let it stand for a while so that all the components exchange their aromas and combine better with each other.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a frying pan with heated oil, fry the cutlets on both sides, spooning them out.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the resulting cutlets on a plate. There are two ways to bring them to readiness: put all the fried cutlets back into the frying pan, add a little water and steam them under the lid until cooked, in which case they will become more fluffy due to the boiling of the starch.

7. STEP 7

   

   The second method is to fry longer on each side over medium heat so that the chicken is well cooked. The first method is more gentle on health. especially if you are cooking for children or elderly people.

I made chicken breast cutlets with cheese. In the morning, I shredded the chicken breast, grated the cheese, added the rest of the ingredients, mixed everything and left to marinate so that I could fry the cutlets just before serving. I additionally added freshly ground black pepper and a little grated garlic to the cutlet mixture for added spice. It turned out very tasty, juicy, aromatic. You don’t need to fuss with forming the cutlets; you just spoon the pancakes onto the frying pan. Very good recipe. Thank you, naniki!

A great way to cook chicken! Chicken breast cutlets with cheese are very juicy due to the fact that the meat is chopped with a knife and not with a meat grinder. This fact has a positive effect on the taste of the finished dish, but it also requires a well-sharpened knife, otherwise it will not be possible to chop the meat so finely. You can serve chopped cutlets as a side dish or simply with fresh vegetables.
