Just two years ago, I didn’t even know about such delicacies; I always made and ate traditional ones, made from beef and pork. This type, like the classic ones, can also be frozen for use, and then quickly placed in a frying pan or in the oven. And voila, chicken meat cutlets are on the table!

This option is the easiest and most traditional, probably everyone cooks it without exception. Because it is very simple, absolutely no unnecessary ingredients. These cutlets are served in our school canteen. The cutlets will be breaded, keep this in mind.

If the minced meat turns out liquid, don’t be upset, add a little flour to it, about 4 tablespoons of flour, and the problem will disappear by itself.


3. Prepare breadcrumbs for felting our meat lumps. I prefer to buy ready-made breadcrumbs, but do you make your own? Once I even bought them with spices, it turned out very tasty.


4. Using your hands, first form balls from the meat mixture, and then flatten them with your hands, making them round or oval. Roll in breadcrumbs and voila, they're already in the pan!

Important! Before frying, you need to heat the frying pan with vegetable oil well, then reduce the heat, and then fry.

Cover with a lid and fry for about 3 minutes; when you open the lid, you can see a slightly golden edge, which means it's time to turn them over to the other side.


5. These turned out to be such beauties, very juicy and aromatic from the most important tasty and dietary ingredient, like aromatic chicken.


Chicken cutlets in the oven, baked with cheese

This option is simply amazingly delicious, because it uses potatoes and processed cheese. Potatoes add softness, and cheese adds tenderness and creaminess, as well as juiciness to such aromatic cutlets. And the main thing is that this dish is baked directly in the oven, which means it is also healthy. Can you imagine how tempting it already sounds?

Try it, you'll definitely like it!

Cooking method:

1. Chicken fillet needs to be chopped and beaten so that it turns into mush, approximately as shown in the figure. If you don't have a lot of time, just blend the fillet pieces in a blender.

Important! Instead of potato chips, you can take zucchini, for example in the summer, when it’s in season, with zucchini it will turn out even softer


3. Pepper, salt, add your favorite herbs and spices. I like to add ground coriander or curry.


4. Take a ceramic mold, I love these molds because nothing sticks to them and they are harmless to our health than those with a non-stick coating. Lubricate it with a silicone brush or regular refined vegetable oil over the entire surface.


5. Form with your hands or using a tablespoon of our chicken doves 😆


6. Separate the whites from the yolks. All you need is the white, you need to beat it a little with a whisk.


7. Brush the egg white onto the top of the cutlets. Then roll them in breadcrumbs.


8. Bake one side at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes, then turn them over, coat the other side with whipped egg white again and sprinkle with breading, put in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.

Among the many varieties of meat, most often housewives give preference to chicken. Because chicken has excellent taste, is light and healthy, and has significantly less fat content compared to other types of meat. And the most popular dish in the daily diet of almost every family is undoubtedly chicken cutlets. They are easier and faster to prepare, and they always turn out filling and tasty.

How to cook minced chicken cutlets?

  • To prepare chicken cutlets, you can use minced meat purchased in the store or prepared yourself. But homemade minced meat is always of better quality than store-bought minced meat, and besides, it does not contain various additives.
  • To make the cutlets strong, the minced chicken is pre-beaten. To do this, take handfuls of it from the bowl and forcefully throw it back.
  • For fluffiness and juiciness, you can put a piece of butter in the center of each cutlet.
  • You can diversify classic cutlets by getting a new recipe using your imagination. For example, season the minced meat with different spices and seasonings, use all kinds of breadings, add a variety of toppings, etc.

Features of cooking chicken cutlets


Cutlets made from minced chicken are much healthier than cutlets made from other types of meat. They are perfect for diet and children's tables. You can cook them in a frying pan, steamed, in the oven, in the microwave, in a double boiler, on the grill or over a fire. At the same time, they always turn out delicious. A significant advantage of chicken cutlets is the speed of cooking, regardless of the method of grinding the minced meat. However, in order to fully realize all the advantages, the cutlets must be prepared correctly.
  • In minced chicken (chopped or twisted), onions are added for juiciness, eggs for stickiness, and bread soaked in milk for fluffiness and better sculpting of the cutlets. At the same time, it is important to put the products in moderate proportions, otherwise the opposite effect will occur. If you overdo it, the cutlets will become hard and rubbery, and the bread will become bready. Onions can be added raw, fried, finely chopped, twisted in a meat grinder or chopped in a blender. According to chefs, the best proportion is for 1 kg of minced meat: 3 eggs, about 200–250 g of bread and 200 g of onion.
  • It is preferable to cook cutlets from chicken breast. It is particularly tender, and to prevent the dish from being dry, you can add a little chicken fat. In this case, it is advisable not to use chicken skin for preparing minced meat.
  • After kneading the minced meat, it needs to sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so that it absorbs the meat juice and becomes juicier. Also, the chef's secret to juicy minced meat is ice, crushed pieces of which are placed on top of the minced meat.
  • To get a crispy crust, the cutlets are breaded in breadcrumbs, flour, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and other products.

    Next, place finely chopped onion in a bowl. Melt a piece of butter in a frying pan. There should be enough of it to fry all the cutlets. We form lumps from the minced meat and fry them in a frying pan on both sides until a beautiful crust appears.

The resulting mixture is used to form the filling for oblong-shaped cutlets. From the specified amount of ingredients you get 4 pieces.

    The filling is placed in the middle of the beaten breast and wrapped. The seams are secured with skewers or toothpicks. Dip the cutlets completely in breading and place them in the oven. We control the cooking process visually. As soon as a golden brown crust appears, the cutlets can be taken out. Don't forget to remove the skewers before serving! The best side dish would be mashed potatoes or vegetables.

    We form cutlets by hand. It is best to wet your hands in cold water beforehand. Place the pieces in a frying pan with heated oil. Fry them on both sides until a crust appears.

    Classic Pozharsky recipe

    Pozharsky cutlets have been known to us since Pushkin’s times. To this day, the tradition remains of preparing this wonderful dish exclusively from chicken according to a recipe handed down from the original sources.

    To do this you will need:

    • chicken fillet – 1 kg;
    • bread or sliced ​​loaf – 0.5 kg;
    • onions – 2 pcs.;
    • drain butter – 150 g;
    • cream or milk – 120 ml;
    • rast. oil – 2 tbsp. spoons;
    • salt;
    • pepper.

    The onion is finely chopped and fried in a frying pan with oil until it becomes transparent. The crust is cut off from the bread. Separate approximately 70 grams of crumb, which will be used to prepare minced meat. Fill it with cream. Cut the chicken fillet and grind it in a blender or pass it through a meat grinder. The mass should be homogeneous - keep this point in mind. Leave the minced meat in the freezer for a while.

    The onion and soaked pulp are mixed and also crushed in a blender. Combine this part with the minced meat and mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper. Mix the minced meat well so that the seasonings are completely distributed throughout it.

    The next step is to add coarsely chopped butter. Stir again, making sure that the butter does not begin to melt. Again, put the minced meat in the freezer for half an hour so that all the components are properly held together and it is not liquid.

    The breading for the cutlets is made from finely chopped cubes of the remaining bread. The smaller their size, the better. We take out the minced meat, form cutlets and roll them in breading. Fry in a frying pan for 2 minutes on each side. Bon appetit!

    Choosing minced meat

    To make minced chicken cutlets tasty, juicy and tender, you need to choose the right meat. You can take ready-made minced meat, but in this case the composition will also contain fat, chicken skin, and it is not a fact that the meat will be of the first freshness. There are some secrets for choosing minced chicken.


    Choosing the right spices is half the battle

    We figured out how to choose minced meat, now we need to decide what spices we will add to our cutlets. Chicken cutlet recipes usually only include salt and pepper, but believe me, if you add a few spices, the cutlets will take on a new taste that will not leave anyone indifferent.

    1. Pepper mixture. Panacea for all chicken meat. If you like it spicy, add a mixture of several types of pepper, believe me, you will never regret your decision.
    2. Turmeric. Another spice that should be present in chicken dishes by default. Not only will the cutlets turn out golden, they will acquire a unique aroma and delicate, refined taste.
    3. Rosemary or thyme. These herbs will add an unusual spice to the cutlets; you can replace them with Provençal herbs, and then the taste of the cutlets will be slightly sweet and spicy. Don’t be afraid to experiment; most importantly, don’t overdo it with these seasonings, otherwise you’ll get the opposite effect.
    4. Salt. If you choose the right spices, you will be surprised, but salt is a completely optional component! The above seasonings and herbs are in perfect harmony with each other and do not require the addition of salt at all.

Such recipes can easily be considered classic and easy to implement even for inexperienced housewives. However, there is no need to rush to the meat grinder. First, master some culinary subtleties to decide how to make a successful preparation:

    • It is better not to buy an unknown semi-finished product. Who knows what the unscrupulous manufacturer added to the preparation besides fresh meat. If you decide to buy ready-made minced meat, buy it at the market from a trusted butcher.
    • Otherwise, stock up on good fresh chicken breasts, legs or thighs. Remove skin and bones, then grind the meat through a meat grinder. You can add onions or herbs at the same time.
    • How to cook chicken cutlets is up to you, but experts recommend not to overdo it with minced meat. For meat products, the meat should be passed through the meat grinder only once, with a medium-sized grate installed.
    • Cutlets can be made from any part of the chicken, but if you want to add calories to the dish, add some pork tenderloin or prepared ground beef to the fillet.
    • For a dietary version of the meat snack, you can mix fresh herbs or vegetables into the minced meat, for example, pumpkin, zucchini, tomatoes. Whatever your family loves will do.
    • Juicy and soft cutlets will be tastier if you add a little white bread, previously softened in milk.
    • Flavoring additives are a matter of taste. If you decide to properly season the minced cutlets, pay attention to cumin, paprika, chili or coriander.
    • Try making a filling that includes mushrooms, buckwheat, butter, and bacon.

    Once the culinary basics have been learned, check out the exact recipes. It’s better to start with the basic ones, and then try to cook all or at least several of the proposed options. Experiment with foods by choosing a new filling, seasoning or cooking method. You can diversify the cutlets with ordinary grated cheese mixed with chopped meat.
