Naturally, when you go on a visit, you expect to try something new and original there, and not the familiar and terribly tired Olivier and Mimosa salads. Those whom you invite, also hope that your culinary delights will not be commonplace. Of course, no one forces you to cook pancakes with black caviar or cakes on marzipan, but you should be creative in choosing a menu. For example, even ordinary meatballs can be made original and made to play with completely new taste. How to do it? Cook chicken fillet cutlets!
It's no secret that chicken is the most healthy meat product. And fillet is the best part of it. In addition, chicken is dietetic. Therefore, chicken fillet cutlets will not only please your guests with their original taste, but also will not harm their figures.
The first recipe that we want to bring to your attention is the following: 2 chicken eggs, half a kilogram of chicken, 1 large onion, salt and pepper at your discretion - focus on your own preferences in this very controversial issue. Vegetable oil for frying. Chicken steam cutlets will save the situation if there is no time to twist the minced meat - in this case, the meat is simply chopped finely. By the way, about 15 cutlets are obtained from these ingredients, so if you need more or less, calculate the amount proportionally.
So, the chicken fillet cutlets are prepared like this: first chop the onion finely, then the chicken fillet, beat the eggs with salt, mix all the ingredients together - this is the dough for the cutlets we got. Naturally, do not forget to add spices. We fry the cutlets in a pan - first they need to be put out. It will be more useful if you steam them using a multi-cooker for these purposes. By the way, you can serve them to the table with soy sauce, ketchup, fresh vegetables or mashed potatoes - here you can choose for yourself.
Such chicken fillet cutlets are often called chopped, because the meat is not twisted to a homogeneous mass in a meat grinder, but simply chopped. The meat particles are clearly visible in each cutlet.
However, in the preparation of these cutlets there is one drawback - they are not as durable as ordinary cutlets, and can easily fall apart. If something similar happens during frying, it means you have added few eggs. Beat another one or two eggs into the meat mass, and the situation will change radically. If they still fall apart, sprinkle a few spoons of flour into the mixture.
By the way, chicken fillet cutlets can be more exotic. For example, you can cook them as follows: 2 eggs, 400 grams of chicken, 1 teaspoon of pink pepper, 200 grams of crumbs from fresh bread, zest of half an orange. A branch of cilantro, vegetable oil for frying, spices and salt according to your taste preference. The time spent on chicken fillet according to this recipe will not exceed one hour. By the way, the total calorie content of 1 serving of this dish is 450 kilocalories. And this is not so much as you can see. Therefore, you not only eat deliciously, but also keep your harmony.
First you need to finely chop the fillet, then throw pink pepper and cilantro there. After chopping, put the meat in a bowl. Pour in eggs beaten with salt, as well as orange zest. Mix the contents of the bowl thoroughly - the dough should be uniform. After that we make small cutlets, before sending them to the pan, you need to roll them in crumbs. If you cook in a slow cooker, skip the last step.
By the way, these cutlets can be cooked in the oven. Most often they are served on the table with mashed potatoes or salad. Some pre-marinated fillet slices in a mixture of mayonnaise, onions, salt and spices. And only then they form a dough from them. If you want, you can do the same. But the taste of this will not change significantly.
