The poultry processing industry is moving forward with confidence. And all because tender chicken is a traditional dish in almost every family. One of the favorite folk dishes is cutlets.

They are easy to digest, do not require much time for preparation, and are simply amazingly tasty.

Chicken cutlets - food preparation

It will not be difficult to grind or chop chicken meat. But it’s more difficult to separate the fillets correctly. First you need to remove two segments of the chicken wing, leaving only one, the largest bone. The skin is removed and the edge of the bone is lightly trimmed with a knife. The fillet is removed with a sharp knife, cutting along the ridge. Cut the fillet into two parts and use as intended. If the fillet is intended for chicken Kiev, make several cuts to cut through the membranes and tendons and lightly beat off the pieces.

Salt and pepper it on both sides. Place a piece of butter in the center and wrap tightly so that the oil does not leak out during frying. Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk and prepare the crackers in a dish. Dip the cutlet in egg and breadcrumbs 2 times and fry in a frying pan until cooked. Serve with vegetables and potatoes.

Chicken cutlets - your decision! This article will talk about the intricacies of cooking, and also write a recipe for perfect chicken cutlets.

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.

Lush, aromatic and tasty chicken cutlets are a favorite dish of both adults and children. However, few people know the history of this dish. Initially, in its homeland, in France, “cotelette” was the name for a piece of beef on the rib.

Moreover, the meat was taken from the first ribs, which are closest to the back of the head. They were grilled. But then this dish evolved slightly, the bone was discarded, because without it the meat is easier to cook.

Some time later, cutlet raw materials became chopped, and a little later minced meat, to which they began to add things familiar to every modern housewife: milk, bread, eggs, semolina.

Cutlets came to Rus' under Peter I. The chicken version of the dish appeared a little later, under another sovereign, Alexander I, who, while traveling around the country, stopped at Pozharsky’s tavern. We ordered veal cutlets for breakfast for the ruler.

The required type of meat was not available and the innkeeper, fearing the sovereign’s wrath, decided to cheat. I served bread-breaded chicken cutlets on the table. Alexander I liked the dish; it was even included in the royal menu.

The prototype of the popular “Kiev cutlets” appeared in Russia under Elizaveta Petrovna; the dish was brought by students who went to study in France.

Modern cuisine of different nations of the world knows many variations on the theme of cutlets. In Germany they prepare schnitzel, in Poland they cook zrazy with filling, in Turkey they cook kefta with lamb, and in Asia, cutlets with apricot filling – kofta – are popular.

Tips and tricks for making chicken cutlets

And in conclusion of the article, I would like to give a couple of tips on preparing this delicious meat dish:

1. Minced meat is best prepared by hand using a knife. You need to cut the chicken fillet into strips lengthwise and then cut them crosswise into cubes. The cubes should be as small as possible, about a centimeter by centimeter. If you have a food processor in your kitchen, you can make chopped minced meat mechanically.
2. If you like the flavor of the chicken in the finished dish, don't cut the fillet too finely. But keep in mind that chicken cut too large will not be cooked through.
3. If the minced meat turns out to be very liquid, don’t worry, add a couple of tablespoons of flour and the situation will be corrected.
4. Add onions or garlic and various spices to the minced meat, this will make your meatballs truly tasty and juicy.

Preparation:

Of course, the basis of delicious cutlets is chicken, but do not forget about eggs, bread and onions. The taste of the dish also depends on their quality. I’ll tell you about a couple of culinary secrets for preparing perfect minced meat:

• Eggs in cutlets are a connecting link, without which they will spread apart when frying, but you shouldn’t add too much, as eggs add rigidity to the finished dish.
• Bread. The classic recipe uses bread, or rather its crumb, white, dipped in milk. But you can also add crackers. There is an opinion that crackers absorb moisture and add juiciness to cutlets. But there are cooks who add starch, oatmeal, and wheat flour. The choice here is limitless!
• Onions add a piquant taste and, of course, juiciness to the minced meat. The onion can be finely chopped, or you can grate it or puree it in a blender. You can also add onions raw or slightly fried. I can tell you from experience that onions are essential in this dish. And despite the fact that many people do not like it, in its ground state it is not at all noticeable in the finished dish.
• You need to cook the cutlets in a hot frying pan in hot oil, then they will fry quickly, forming a golden crust. This way our dish will remain juicy. Then you should bring them to readiness over low heat under the lid.

That's all, friends! See you soon and bon appetit!
