Juicy chicken breast cutlets

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   For the recipe, I used one chicken fillet, which I cut out of half a chicken breast. It turned out to weigh 300 grams. Cut the chicken meat into pieces, peel and cut the onion into 4 parts. We put everything in the bowl of a blender and grind it. The smaller the mass, the juicier the cutlets will be. You can buy ready-made minced chicken breasts.

2. Step 2:

   

   We put the chopped meat and onion in a bowl, beat in the egg, add sour cream, semolina, chopped garlic, spices and salt. Spices I used "for cutlets". Instead of fresh garlic, you can take garlic powder. I took sour cream with a fat content of 20% - it is not worth taking less fat, since the minced meat may turn out to be runny. In some cases, sour cream can be replaced with medium-fat mayonnaise.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix the contents with a fork or spoon. We taste the salt with the tip of the tongue and adjust it to taste if anything. The stuffing is ready. Leave the minced meat to infuse in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. During this time, the semolina will swell and the minced meat will thicken a little. After the specified time, we take the minced meat out of the refrigerator and mix it well again.

5. Step 4:

   

   With wet hands, we take a large piece of minced meat, knead it into a flat cake on the palm of our hand, put a piece of butter and chopped fresh dill in the middle (optional), pinch the edges and form round or oblong cutlets. From the specified amount of minced meat, I got 5 medium-sized cutlets. Plentifully roll the cutlets in breadcrumbs.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, warm it up and spread the cutlets. Fry on one side over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Turn the cutlets to the other side and fry the same time. Chicken meat is cooked quickly, so that in 10-15 minutes the cutlets are completely cooked. Fry all the blanks.
