Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken cutlets with gravy in the oven? Start by preparing the ingredients according to the list. You can make minced meat for cutlets from any meat and its combinations. I made my own minced meat from chicken fillet. You can also use ready-made store-bought minced meat.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the cheese into medium cubes at the rate of 1 piece of cheese for one cutlet. Any cheese is suitable for this dish - hard, semi-hard. The main thing is that it is tasty, of high quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well. I have Gouda cheese. For information on different types of cheeses, see the article at the end of this recipe under the steps.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the chicken fillet or other parts of the chicken into pieces and grind in a blender or pass through a meat grinder. If you make minced meat using a meat grinder, then you can chop the onion and soaked bread with it. I ground the minced meat in a blender, so I grated the onion.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour cream or milk over white bread and leave for 10 minutes. It is not necessary to cut off the crusts of the bread.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion, grate it on a fine grater or pass it through a meat grinder along with the minced meat.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a bowl, combine minced meat, onion, bread soaked in cream, garlic cloves passed through a press and spices.

7. STEP 7

   

   Knead the minced meat thoroughly until smooth, and then beat it, throwing it into a bowl. This is necessary for the minced meat to compact. Let the minced meat sit for 10 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Divide the minced meat into 6-8 equal parts and form even round cutlets, adding a cube of cheese inside each.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the cutlets in a baking dish greased with vegetable oil and place in an oven preheated to 180℃ for 20 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    While the cutlets are baking, make the gravy. You can replace tomato paste with tomato sauce, ketchup or fresh crushed tomatoes. You can replace the broth with water. You can use any spices to suit your taste.

11. STEP 11

    

    In a dry frying pan over low heat, stirring occasionally, fry the flour until a bright nutty aroma appears. Read how to choose a frying pan in a separate article.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add sour cream and tomato paste and stir.

13. STEP 13

    

    Continuing to stir, pour in hot broth or water, add sugar, salt and ground pepper. Bring the gravy to a boil and remove from heat. If you are unable to get rid of lumps, you can rub the gravy through a sieve.

14. STEP 14

    

    Pour tomato sauce over the cheese-filled cutlets and return to the oven for another 30-35 minutes. Times are approximate and will depend on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

15. STEP 15

    

    Serve ready-made chicken cutlets with cheese and sour cream and tomato paste sauce with any side dish. Bon appetit!

I saw a recipe for chicken cutlets with gravy in the oven just in time. My daughter just asked for these in the morning. I made the minced meat myself from chicken thigh fillet. At the same time, I mixed onions, garlic and soaked bread together with the meat. For spices I used a pinch of freshly ground pepper. Beat the minced meat well in a bowl. For the filling I took Russian cheese, first tasted it and melted a piece in the microwave. While preparing the sauce, lumps of flour formed; I simply rubbed it through a sieve with a silicone spatula. I used turkey broth; it was just cooking nearby). I baked the cutlets for 40 minutes. During this time, the sauce thickened a little, and the cutlets themselves were baked. The cheese leaked out a little in places, but it’s not a problem). The cutlets turned out incredibly tender, the velvety sauce is simply magnificent! My daughter and I are delighted! Thank you for the recipe and I recommend it!

For dinner I decided to cook juicy chicken cutlets with gravy in the oven. For this recipe I prepared all the necessary ingredients and, using the calculator on the website, increased the number of servings to 8. I used ready-made minced meat from chicken thighs. Grind the onion in a blender along with the herbs. I didn’t have sour cream and tomato paste, so I used cream and homemade tomatoes, which I prepared in the summer. I formed cutlets from the finished minced meat and placed them in a baking dish, put them in a preheated oven for 25 minutes, during which time I prepared a creamy tomato sauce for the cutlets. I poured the gravy over the cutlets and left them in the oven for another 35 minutes. I prepared a buckwheat side dish for the cutlets. The chicken cutlets turned out to be really juicy and tasty! Thanks to the author for the recipe!
