Chicken cutlets with buckwheat

I propose to cook interesting chicken cutlets today. This is a two-in-one dish. Fans of buckwheat porridge with a cutlet will definitely like them. The bright taste of buckwheat is slightly lost in the cooking process. Therefore, if your child does not like this healthy porridge, you can cheat and hide it under the guise of a chicken cutlet.

Chicken cutlets with buckwheat are perfectly combined with various sauces. I recommend to try it. Moreover, they are not difficult to prepare at all.

Let's start with cooking buckwheat. The grits need to be washed and boiled until ready. To do this, boil the buckwheat for 15-20 minutes after boiling. There should be no water left in the pan. Then we will transfer the buckwheat into a bowl in which we will knead the minced meat for the cutlets. So buckwheat will cool down faster. No salt or oil should be added.

Peel and wash the onion. Cut each onion into four pieces. They will need to be crushed together with the chicken fillet in a meat grinder.

Then we will prepare the minced meat. To do this, thoroughly rinse the chicken fillet under running water and twist it in a meat grinder. You can take fillets of any part of the chicken, and for those who adhere to a healthy diet, breast is more suitable.

After the chicken meat, we pass the onion through the meat grinder.

Finely chop a sprig of dill. Instead of dill, you can use other greens that you have. Chop the garlic in a garlic chopper or grate on a fine grater.

Mix the finished minced chicken with onion and buckwheat. Add all the steel ingredients: one large chicken egg, dill, garlic, salt and spices. With our hands, we thoroughly knead the minced meat for cutlets. For any cutlets, it is important to knead the minced meat well and for a long time so that the mass becomes homogeneous.

Preheat the pan. Form cutlets and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown on both sides.

The cutlets are fragrant and satisfying. Since there is already buckwheat in the composition of this original dish, no special side dish is required. You can serve chicken cutlets with buckwheat with fresh or stewed vegetables. Before serving, you can decorate with herbs.
