Cooking steps

The first step is to prepare the dough. To do this, sift all the flour into a deep bowl and mix it with salt. Break the egg into a bowl, mix, then pour in water in portions. Knead the dough on a clean, dry tabletop. You don't need to make it too steep, but it should easily fall behind your fingers. Roll the resulting product into a ball.



Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or a damp cloth. The dough should be infused with room temperature within 20-30 minutes.



Rinse the brisket, along with lard pass through a meat grinder twice so that the meat and lard are chopped as much as possible... Pass the onion through a meat grinder or chop it in a blender. Mix onion with meat, add spices. Mix the minced meat thoroughly until smooth.



Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and roll it out one by one on the countertop, which must be sprinkled with flour. The rolled out layer of dough should not be more than 2 millimeters thick.



With the help of a manual dumpling machine, we form dumplings. To do this, lay out a rolled sheet of dough on the mold, put teaspoons of minced meat in the grooves and cover with a second sheet of dough on top. To make the dumplings stick well, walk over the shape with a rolling pin. If there is no dumpling maker, you need to mold the dumplings with your hands.



Bring the water to a boil and season with salt before tossing the dumplings into the pot. Lower the dumplings and cook for 5-7 minutes. As soon as they surfaced, we take it out with a slotted spoon and put it on a dish. Pepper, salt to taste, add vinegar and butter. Chopped greens can be added if desired. Homemade chicken dumplings are ready.

Anything can be a filling for your favorite snack, most housewives deviate from the classic recipe, and more and more often they make products not with meat ingredients. However, it is meat that still remains the best filling for fluffy dough, therefore we suggest you try making dumplings with minced chicken, the recipe for this delicate dish will amaze you with its simplicity.

In order for the appetizer to turn out to be truly tasty, juicy and appetizing - the dough and filling must be properly prepared, we will talk about all the secrets and step-by-step recipes in detail in the article.

As a meat filling, we use tender chicken, or rather, minced meat made from it. Chicken itself, although it has a delicate taste and soft texture, nevertheless gives a fresh and “dry” filling. That is why it is recommended to dilute it with other ingredients that add juiciness to the minced meat.

It is advisable to twist the chicken meat yourself, you should not buy ready-made minced meat, although it can be purchased without any problems in any supermarket.

To add juiciness to the twisted meat, it is recommended to add onion or garlic to it; black pepper and salt will also do the trick.

Such supplements are considered classic. However, if you don't have enough of them (to improve the taste), then it will be possible to approach the preparation of minced chicken in a more original way.

What to add to the filling for chicken dumplings

1. Fresh cabbage... It can replace onions - this option is very unusual, so the taste will turn out to be an amateur, but the white cabbage will definitely give juiciness to the minced chicken.
2. Sugar(2-3 tsp per 1 kg of product). At first glance, such an ingredient seems inappropriate and completely incompatible with meat. Rest assured, however, that the taste will pleasantly surprise you in the end.
3. Twisted suluguni cheese with garlic and herbs or homemade feta cheese. Such additives will embellish the taste, make the filling more piquant and juicy.
4. Soy sauce- it always comes in handy, and will not spoil the dumplings in any way, even if you add it to the minced meat, and do not serve it with ready-made dumplings.
5. Pork lard or pork... As a rule, housewives use several types of meat to prepare dumplings. Since the main meat ingredient in our country is chicken, it is recommended to mix minced meat for dumplings with pork or lard.
   They will make the filling not so "dry", but at the same time, slightly diversify its taste. The addition of spices is only welcome.

The most suitable spices for minced chicken breast (or chicken fillet) are paprika, curry, ground coriander, black pepper, turmeric.
