Juicy chicken breast cutlets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry juicy breast cutlets? Prepare all products. For the recipe, I used one chicken fillet, which I cut from half a chicken breast. It turned out to weigh 300 grams. Wash the chicken meat in running water, dry it, cut into pieces. Peel the onion and cut into 4 parts. Place everything in a blender bowl and grind. The finer the mass, the juicier the cutlets will be. You can buy ready-made minced chicken breasts.

2. STEP 2

   

   Transfer the chopped meat and onions into a deep bowl, beat in the egg, add sour cream, semolina, spices and salt. Peel the garlic, chop the garlic using a press and add to the bowl. I used the spices “for cutlets”. Instead of fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder. I used sour cream with a fat content of 20% - you shouldn’t use less fat, as the minced meat may turn out watery. In some cases, sour cream can be replaced with medium-fat mayonnaise.

3. STEP 3

   

   Stir the contents with a fork or spoon. The minced meat for juicy chicken cutlets in a frying pan is ready. Leave the minced meat to sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. During this time, the semolina will swell and it will thicken a little. After the specified time, remove the minced meat from the refrigerator and mix well again.

4. STEP 4

   

   With wet hands, take a large piece of minced meat, knead it into a flat cake in your palm, put a piece of butter and chopped fresh dill (optional) in the middle, pinch the edges and form round or oblong cutlets. From the specified amount of minced meat I got 5 medium-sized cutlets. Coat cutlets generously in breadcrumbs.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan, heat it and place the cutlets. Fry on one side over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Turn the cutlets over to the other side and fry for the same time. Chicken meat cooks quickly, so the cutlets will be completely cooked in 10-15 minutes. Fry all the preparations in this way.

Chicken cutlets for dinner, a very good idea. I served them with mashed potatoes. I kneaded the minced meat in a blender, just like the author. First I twisted the chicken breast, onion and garlic, and then added everything else and beat the airy minced meat again. From the spices I added sweet paprika and a vegetable mixture. While I was doing business, the minced meat stood in the refrigerator for an hour. This is even good, the semolina has swollen better. The mixture turned out to be pasty, so I wet my hands with water and formed the cutlets. You really shouldn’t skimp on the breadcrumbs) While the cutlets were frying, I kept thinking, where will the butter go? I cut the finished cutlet and saw that all the oil had been absorbed into the minced meat! So this is the secret of juiciness!) The cutlets are really very juicy and creamy. Chicken meat goes well with spices. The garlic in the cutlets is not at all spicy, it only gives a tantalizing aroma. The cutlets are great! I'll take note of the recipe!

Great recipe! I used ready-made chicken mince; I didn’t add onion, because... not everyone likes it, but it didn’t affect the taste in any way - we ate it in one meal. The spices included paprika and a mixture of Provençal herbs. The minced meat mixed into the cutlets sat for about an hour. When frying, the main thing is to choose the right temperature (it can be different for each stove), so that you get a golden brown crust. The cutlets are sooooo tender. Anything will do as a side dish. There will definitely be re-cooking. Thanks to the author
