Juicy cutlets from dietary chicken breast are not easy to prepare. The meat of this part of the chicken is low in calories and devoid of fat. However, there are secrets for making juicy cutlets from this part of the chicken carcass. The recipe is completely simple, and all the ingredients are affordable.

Juicy chicken breast cutlets: step-by-step recipe

In order for chicken breast cutlets to be juicy, you need to use additional ingredients in very proper proportions. Minced meat for cutlets should consist of two-thirds meat and one-third of additives that give it elasticity.

Sometimes housewives exclude ingredients such as bread or semolina from the recipe. Because of this, the cutlets lose their meat juice during frying and become rubbery. And one more secret: add grated, not chopped onions.

Products:

• 450 g chicken breast without skin and bones;
• 1 onion;
• 1 clove of garlic;
• 1 egg;
• 100 g (about 2 slices) white loaf;
• 50 ml milk;
• 100 g breadcrumbs;
• salt and black pepper to taste;
• 4 tbsp. l. vegetable oil for frying.

Recipe:

1. Grind chicken breast in a meat grinder.

   It is better not to grind the meat in a blender; cutlets from such minced meat turn out drier

2. Grate the onion on a coarse grater and squeeze the juice into a separate bowl.

   The onion should be fresh and juicy

3. Add egg, salt and black pepper to the minced meat.

   Minced meat with egg and spices must be thoroughly mixed

4. Cut off the crust from the loaf slices.

   The crust will give the cutlets toughness

5. Mix milk with onion juice and soak the loaf pieces in this mixture for 10–15 minutes.

   The milk and onion juice must be absorbed into the bread.

6. Combine the minced meat with the egg and the soaked loaf, add grated onion and garlic passed through a press. Stir the mixture until smooth.

   Uniform minced meat is necessary for the tender texture of the cutlets.

7. Form cutlets and roll them in breadcrumbs.

   Place the formed cutlets on a cutting board

8. Fry the cutlets in a frying pan heated with vegetable oil on both sides.

   Ready-made chicken cutlets are good with a side dish of mashed potatoes, boiled rice or bulgur

If, after all, the chicken breast cutlets come out a little dry, then the matter can be easily corrected. You need to prepare a sour cream or cream sauce of medium thickness and simmer the cutlets in it over low heat for 10–15 minutes.

1. First of all, remember that you need to buy chilled meat, but not defrosted;
2. When you press on the chilled meat, it should return to its place. This indicates that the fillet is chilled;

6. The surface of the breast is smooth, without mucus and blood;

Classic recipe

Cutlets are usually prepared from various types of meat, but vegetable, soy and chickpea options are also found. Dishes made from chicken are very popular among many housewives. Using chicken breast as the main ingredient will allow you to quickly make cutlets at home. They can be baked in the oven, fried, steamed.

To prepare the dish according to the classic recipe, you should take the following ingredients:

• one large onion;
• one egg;
• 80–100 gr. white bread;
• garlic;
• flour or breadcrumbs for breading;
• black pepper, salt.

To make juicy cutlets, you need to purchase fresh chicken breasts, wash them, dry them and cut them into small pieces, trying to keep the fibers running crosswise. If you use a frozen product, you should defrost it completely. If you do not defrost completely, the cutlets may not brown as well during the frying process.

It is necessary to cut the onion into several parts and chop in a blender, then chop the garlic.

Chicken fillet, cut into pieces, is also ground in a blender or using a meat grinder. If the meat is twisted through a meat grinder, then during the processing process you can immediately chop the onion and garlic. Many housewives recommend chopping onions using electrical appliances rather than cutting them with a knife, since this type of cutting will result in larger onion pieces, which is not always liked by household members.

Then one raw egg is added to the prepared mass to hold the minced meat together. At the end, add spices and salt.

Before starting work, you should put a couple of pieces of bread in a separate bowl; it is better to take stale bread or crackers. Pour clean water or milk into the container, making sure that the pieces are completely covered. As soon as the pieces of bread are soaked, they are squeezed out without leaving any liquid and added to the minced meat. The mass is thoroughly mixed.

After this, you can proceed directly to sculpting the cutlets. To do this, it is better to use a tablespoon in order to gain weight. In this case, the cutlets will be the same shape and size.

It is better to make the shape oval, then lightly press it down so that it becomes flat. In this case, the chicken cutlets will fry faster and will not be raw or, conversely, dry inside.

Roll the cutlets in 2-3 tbsp. spoons of flour or breadcrumbs, then put on a preheated frying pan with added vegetable oil.

Frying time on one side should be at least 5–7 minutes. After this, the products are turned over to the other side and fried for another 8–10 minutes. To check whether the minced meat is completely fried, you need to press it with a fork or pierce it with a toothpick. When pinkish juice is released, you should still keep the meat on the fire. If the juice is clear, it means the minced meat is completely cooked and the dish is ready to eat.

After frying the chicken fillet cutlets, remove them from the heat and place them in a saucepan. Those who like the dish with gravy should also steam them by adding a bay leaf to a saucepan of silent water with spices. Place the saucepan on the fire and steam the dish for 4–5 minutes.

Place the baking sheet in an already preheated oven, cook the dish at a temperature of 180 degrees for about 25–30 minutes.

While the dish is preparing, you should make a sauce for it. For the sauce, mix tomato paste with sour cream and spices in a separate container. If the sauce is thick, add a couple of tablespoons of water or milk.

After the sauce is prepared, remove the baking sheet from the oven and pour the sauce over the products. Next, put the dish back in the oven and cook for another 20 minutes until done.
