Juicy steamed chicken cutlets without a steamer

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make juicy steamed chicken cutlets without a steamer? Prepare your ingredients. You can take ready-made minced meat, but it is better, of course, to prepare it yourself by chopping the meat using a blender or meat grinder. In addition to chicken, you can use turkey meat.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the apple (preferably sweet and sour varieties) and grate on a medium grater. In addition to apples, you can use other vegetables (zucchini, cabbage).

3. STEP 3

   

   Add grated apple, semolina, a pinch of paprika and salt to the minced chicken. Knead everything thoroughly. You can add other spices to your taste or do without them and without paprika (if you are cooking, for example, for a small child). Focus on your preferences.

4. STEP 4

   

   Fill the pan with water a third or a little more, but the container with the cutlets should not touch the water. How to choose the right pan, read the article at the link at the end of the recipe. Add allspice to a pan of water (for flavor) and place on the fire. Bring water to a boil over medium heat.

5. STEP 5

   

   While the water is boiling, with wet hands, form uniform, medium-sized patties.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the cutlets in a colander lightly greased with vegetable oil. The larger the diameter of the colander, the more cutlets it will fit. If desired, sprinkle the cutlets with ground paprika.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the container with the cutlets over a pan of boiling water.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cover with a lid. Cook the cutlets for about 30 minutes. Depending on the features of your stove, the chosen pan and the size of the cutlets, you may need a little more or less time. Make sure there is always water in the pan. It evaporates quite quickly. If necessary, add another glass of water. If the cutlets are not ready after the specified time, then add another 5-10 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Steamed cutlets without a steamer are ready. You can sprinkle them with ground paprika again. Bon appetit!

Using this recipe, I actually got juicy steamed chicken cutlets without a steamer. I used this method in my youth, when I did not have any equipment). I made cutlets from chicken breast and ground the meat in a blender. Together with the chicken, I chopped half a sweet and sour apple and half an onion. All this gave the chicken meat juiciness. Placed the cutlets in a colander greased with vegetable oil. I added bay leaves and allspice peas to the water for steam. This greatly enriched the cutlets with a delicious aroma. I placed a colander on the pan after the water boiled and cooked under the lid for about 40-50 minutes. The cutlets turned out great! They were fully prepared. The cutlets are juicy, slightly sweet, very tasty! After cooking, sprinkled with paprika for color. Thanks for the recipe!

I saw an interesting recipe “Juicy steamed chicken cutlets without a steamer.” I was interested in making cutlets without eggs, but with an apple. I decided to try it. I had chicken goulash, which I crushed in a blender into a paste. Added apple, salt and semolina. The minced meat turned out homogeneous and viscous. She made cutlets with wet hands and sprinkled them with paprika. Steamed it in a slow cooker for 20 minutes. The aroma was wonderful. The chicken cutlets turned out to be so soft that it was difficult to pick them up with your hands, they were like a cloud. Excellent recipe! The steamed cutlets are very tender, airy and very tasty. The apple added juiciness and tenderness to the cutlets. Paprika only decorated the dish so that the cutlets were not pale. I served chicken cutlets with mashed potatoes. The child gobbled it up with pleasure. Thank you so much for the delicious recipe!
