Juicy chicken cutlets with starch are popular with housewives in the preparation of dinners. This article contains the best recipes for such cutlets that are easy to prepare, but will become a real treat. Light, airy chicken fillet cutlets can be prepared from both minced meat and minced meat. Try to cook at least once, and you will understand why many people love them so much.
How to replace starch in cutlets?
To begin with, it’s worth figuring out why you need to add this ingredient to the stuffing. The fact is that the minced chicken is liquid in consistency and will spread in the pan, like a pancake dough. So that this does not happen, you need to interconnect all the components of the stuffing. Chicken cutlets with starch do not spread and are not smeared, because starch is a natural glue that remarkably binds fibers to each other.
Starch is put in ordinary meat patties so that they turn out to be magnificent, fried, but juicy. And how can starch be replaced if it is simply not at home, and the minced meat is ready?
An excellent binder is a chicken egg. If you can add only eggs to regular meat, then you need to add flour to chicken minced meat so that the patties do not spread.
In addition to flour and eggs, you can add breadcrumbs or crumb of white bread to the forcemeat. Thanks to this, the cutlets will be lush, they will be easy to dazzle, and they will not spread in the pan.
Next, we suggest considering recipes for minced meatballs, which are excellent for the children's menu. Then you can familiarize yourself with the methods for making chopped chicken cutlets with starch.
Juicy Cutlets
To prepare this dish, you need the following set of products:
- 700 grams of chicken;
- two tablespoons of starch;
- a tablespoon of sour cream;
- one onion;
- some flour for breading;
- salt and pepper to taste.
Sour cream is needed to give juiciness. Many people use mayonnaise in cooking, but if you want to cook chicken cutlets for children, then put sour cream on it, it is much more useful than mayonnaise.
How to cook juicy meatballs
