Chicken fillet cutlets pp. Meat diet cutlets (beef)

Everyone knows that chicken fillet is a valuable and very healthy dietary product from which you can prepare many delicious, low-calorie dishes. And today I offer you one of them - tender chicken cutlets with zucchini and spicy sauce.

As a rule, when finished, chicken meat turns out to be quite dry and tough due to its low fat content (100 grams of this product contains only 1.2 grams of fat). Therefore, we will add it to the minced chicken for the cutlets. This is what will make the cutlets truly soft and juicy.

Zucchini (especially young ones) are easily digestible and, unlike overgrown fruits, have the best taste. They are low in calories (27 kcal per 100 g), so they are most popular among those losing weight and those on a diet for health reasons. In addition, this vegetable is recommended to be included in baby food menus.

Zucchini fits perfectly into chicken cutlets. The harmony of taste was complemented by a spicy sauce. I hope you will like this dietary dish and take its rightful place in your diet.

Appetizing healthy cutlets: recipes to choose from

Cooking chicken cutlets should begin with preparing the minced meat.

You can cut the chicken fillet into small pieces with a knife.

Those who prefer a more delicate, uniform structure can use a meat grinder or blender for preparation.

Before preparing minced meat, remove skin and pieces of fat from the meat.

I will share just two recipes. But they can safely be called basic - change the composition a little (for example, adding mushrooms) and get new tastes.

All recipes are designed for 500 g of meat - this is how much 1 fillet usually weighs. This amount of breast yields 3-4 good servings of a finished dish, because onions, vegetables or various grains are added to the minced meat. That is, you can either reduce the quantity if you are cooking at a time, or leave what is uneaten for later - you will have less to fiddle with at the stove.

Before making delicious dietary cutlets from minced chicken, we grind both the flakes and the meat. To do this, we pass the chicken fillet and vegetables through a meat grinder or blender.
Grind the Hercules cereal in a coffee grinder. Add 2-3 tbsp to the minced meat. spoons of oatmeal (we will use the remaining flour for breading).

Tips and secrets

1. Try to buy meat from small farms. They rarely use antibiotics and dietary supplements when raising poultry. Cutlets made from such meat are especially useful.

2. Feel free to experiment with minced meat ingredients for chicken cutlets - sweet peppers, broccoli, corn, peas, mushrooms, boiled and diced eggs, in general, a lot of options. The taste of the finished product depends on what is added to the minced meat. Different additives - different tastes!

3. Not all spices can be used when preparing chicken dishes - they interrupt the aroma of chicken meat. Black pepper, salt, bay leaf - this will be enough.

4. Use breadings made from ground grains, not ready-made flour.

Video recipe for diet cutlets

I took note of the fitness recipe with cottage cheese - it should turn out well, but I’ll also add garlic for flavor. This video explains in detail how to cook them, as well as the amount of fat in such cutlets:

Good day, Friends! In today’s recipe, I’ll tell you how I prepare dietary minced meat, why I cook it in the first place and don’t buy it, and I’ll share a cool recipe for cutlets.

So, minced meat in a healthy diet is preferably lean, preferably made from pure meat without large layers of fat, skin and God knows what other industrial “improvers” (glutamates, starch, etc.). This is where the answer to the question “Why not buy minced meat in a store?” follows. If you know a butcher who prepares such pure minced meat, then you are a lucky person. I don’t have such a friend nearby, so I buy fillet and make minced meat from it myself.

What meat to choose for minced meat?

Firstly, we give preference to lean poultry. First of all, it's chicken and turkey. Please note that turkey fillet (breast) is generally lean and will most likely be dry after cooking. Therefore, I recommend combining brisket with thigh.

Secondly, beef and veal. Veal is more dietary than beef, but also more expensive. Therefore, these two types of meat can also be mixed.

Thirdly, horse meat, elk meat. These two types of meat are quite rare, but very tasty. They are also low in calories. Personal recommendation: be sure to try elk meat (they definitely have it at the meat market). It turns out gorgeous if you just bake it in the oven.

Actually, that's all. I don't eat lamb or pork. And not just because they are fat. I just don't like this meat. But if you love these varieties, then feel free to add them to the minced meat. Among lamb and pork you can also find lean parts.

How to cook minced meat?

Since we prepare minced meat from lean and dietary meat, we need a “juicy safety net” so that the finished dish does not turn out dry, is easy to chew and requires a large amount of sauce. For this I have several secrets:
Combine types of meat. Chicken+veal, turkey+beef, veal+horse, turkey+chicken, veal+beef. You can make minced meat from 2, 3, 4 types of meat. I really like chicken fillet (2 parts) + veal fillet (1 part).
Onion. Be sure to add onions to the minced meat. Twist it together with the meat and then mix well. For 1 kg of meat I can take 2 or even 3 large onions (100 g each).
Soy sauce. 2-3 tbsp. 1 kg of meat will be enough. As with marinades, sauce works great here too.
Spank the minced meat. Yes, yes. After mixing the minced meat with onion, soy sauce, salt and spices (if using), roll it into a ball and drop it from a height of 20-25 cm into a bowl. You need to thoroughly slam it to the bottom, so don’t spare any effort. And so 10 times. You can additionally slap the meat ball with your palm.

That's it, the super-duper minced meat is ready. Now I’ll tell you how I make simple, but always tasty cutlets from it.
