To do this, you need to prepare one chicken breast, five slices of a white loaf, one carrot, a couple of onions and a couple of garlic. Also use one egg, a couple of tablespoons of sifted flour, and some salt and spices, depending on your taste.
Remove the fat and skin from the breast, rinse the meat and cut into random pieces. Cut the onion into quarters and peel the garlic. Also chop the carrots at random. Pass the prepared ingredients through a meat grinder. Pour the crumb of the loaf with boiling milk or boiling water, then mash with a fork. Stir this bread into the minced meat. Add flour, egg and spices to the mixture, then mix until smooth.

How to steam cutlets without a steamer? How else can I replace my steamer?
Instead of a double boiler, you can use an ordinary pan of sufficient diameter - just cover it with gauze folded in several layers. Secure the ends securely, for example, with a linen rubber band, and hide them inside the pan. Of course, before that you need to pour water into the pan. Bring the water to a boil, then put the patties on cheesecloth and cover with a lid or basin. This way you can cook cutlets, vegetables, and other steamed dishes.
Steamed dishes retain more vitamins, amino acids and other essential substances than fried or boiled ones. It is recommended to give them even to children and people who are shown a strict diet. Steam cutlets can be cooked without a steamer using the tools at hand.
Cut off the entire crust from a loaf of snow-white bread, finely chop the pulp and cover with warm milk. Leave it like this for about 10-15 minutes to swell. Peel the onion and spin it through a meat grinder. If you do not have a meat grinder, chop the onion into as small pieces as possible. Scroll the meat too, or buy ready-made minced meat in the store. To make steam cutlets without a steamer, you can use minced veal, pork, chicken fillet, also mixed.
Mix the minced meat with the onion, add a little squeezed bread and scroll through the meat grinder again all together. Whisk in one egg, add remaining milk, salt and pepper to taste and stir well. Minced meat is ready. Divide it into small pieces and form patties by wetting your hands with cool water beforehand.
Place the patties in a strainer, colander, or flat-bottomed saucepan, leaving small distances between them. Pour drinking water into a saucepan in such a way that it does not reach the sieve placed on top and bring it to a boil. Place the lid on, reduce the heat and let cook, covered, for about 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the patties. There should always be water on the day of the pot. If the water evaporates very quickly and is not enough for always making cutlets, then add boiling water to the pan if necessary.
Remove the colander from the pot and check the patties for doneness. To do this, cut one cutlet in half: the meat should be of the same color across the entire diameter, and the juice flowing out of it should be completely transparent. Ready-made steamed cutlets differ from fried ones by the absence of a crispy crust, otherwise they are just as savory and even more juicy. Serve steamed cutlets with a garnish of vegetables or cereals, if you wish, you can decorate them with the freshest herbs and pour over the sauce.
Doctors unanimously prohibit fried and salty in the presence of allergies, dermatitis and problems with the gastrointestinal tract, and those who monitor their figure and health limit themselves to them on their own. But if you really want cutlets, it is not at all necessary to torture yourself, finally giving up a tasty, nutritious and economical dish. The solution is quite simple: you can minimize the use of oil and steam them instead of frying.
Classic steamed cutletsInstead of a saucepan, you can also use a frying pan, however, in this case, the cooking technique will be different, and the cutlets will turn out to be more stewed than steamed. Form patties and place in a well-heated skillet. Add boiling water there so that it covers the base of the cutlets by about 1.5-2 centimeters. Lift each cutlet in turn so that water flows under it, forming a kind of barrier between the hot surface and the meat. Cover and fry over medium heat for 15-20 minutes on each side, making sure to top up with water as it evaporates.

Interesting Facts:
Needless to say, how healthy steamed dishes are. And even more so, meat. And not only we are talking about diet food fans. Convenient, profitable, tasty. These are not all the compliments steaming deserves.
If you don't have a steamer? And it is not necessary to use only this device. If it's not in your arsenal, any steaming tool will do. I successfully use a multicooker, where there is such a mode.
In addition, such cooking (I'm talking about steam in a multicooker) is simple and convenient. There are no several floors here, but you can cook something in a bowl, and in the second, upstairs, you can cook steam dishes. And you can also cook a tasty and healthy side dish at the same time with meat.
Better ask what you can't. The multicooker cooks chic cutlets, meatballs, meatballs, beef stroganoff, even manti and dumplings and much more for a couple. And all this without the use of harmful frying and a lot of fat.
Of course, there are a lot of them, the second. And each time in the menu you can include a variety of them. These are just pieces of meat, cutlets, etc. Get to work!
Yes, let's start with the pork shoulder. Cooked with steamed vegetables, it will delight you with its magnificent taste, and usefulness, and simplicity.
Of course, there can be any kind of meat here. But I got a lucky piece of a scapula, and I decided to take advantage of the moment. I cut a tight piece.
To make the meat softer and juicier, I decided to beat it off. And so that the piece does not lose much of its shape, I put it in polyethylene. Very convenient, by the way.
Meat doesn't have to be tasteless, even if you're on a diet. I found my favorite spices, and did not regret them, rubbing them into the meat for a minute or two.
Further, while the meat is marinated, I decided to cook the same healthy side dish. What to include in it? I wrote in the recipe what I had at hand. But you may have a different set. So, I first cut the celery into a format that would be convenient not only for cooking. But next time I'll cut it thinner.
Zucchini is the same zucchini, but it is different. Not only the color of the skin, which I decided not to take off - that way both the taste and the color are brighter. Zucchini is a little harder than its more gentle brother. I decided to cut it into strips.
And the last ingredient is tomatoes. I had the cream. I just cut them into quarters.
That's all. All this beauty could be put into a container. But I wanted to get a juicy dish of meat and vegetables in my own juice. I packed everything into a baking sleeve, seasoning with salt and spices, pouring oil. What mode should I set? I chose "soup" because I decided to cook the first course in the bowl itself. An hour is enough to prepare a scoop and a side dish. Feel free to put it all on a plate with juice or pour it over this healthy and delicious beauty!
I had minced meat ready. If you don't have it, just grind the meat in any way and add whatever you want to the minced meat. It will be delicious!
In the finished minced meat, I crumbled everything that I had at that time. After chopping vegetables, I combined them with minced meat. Mixed well and added a piece of bread soaked in water. Then I added some salt to taste, seasoned with my favorite Italian herbs and chopped herbs.
To make them more beautiful, I dipped them in a coarse breading. Then they had to be sent to a container for steaming. Which I did, but first wrapped the cutlets in a baking sleeve. This is the only reason why they are so juicy! By the way, I cooked in the same multicooker on the “steaming” mode until the signal.
Yes, I will continue the cutlet theme, because these are very unusual cutlets. Not only are they dietary, but also more satisfying! And due to the spices, they are also fragrant ...
If there is no ready-made minced meat, grind a piece of any meat. Yes, potatoes will make the cutlet softer and juicier. Therefore, I rub it on a coarse grater. I just finely chop the onion so that the cutlets do not flow from so much liquid. Mix it all with minced meat. Add milk so that it does not turn out liquid - watch out for milk and consistency. Then I salt and add spices and salt to taste. Before sending the cutlets to steam, I kept the minced meat in the refrigerator for half an hour. After making the cutlets, I dipped them in flour and then steamed them. This time I had a special device, which is enough to put in a saucepan of water and cover with a lid. These cutlets with mashed potatoes are just wonderful.
Why did I name this dish like that? Because the slicing was the same as for beef stroganoff. I just wanted to try if it was possible to cook meat not in a piece, but in a different format. The experience was a success!
I wanted to cook it in a special sleeve or in foil, but there was neither one nor the other at hand. But the meat was sliced like n6a beef stroganoff. I didn't give up on this idea, deciding to cook it in a good dry marinade. To do this, I rubbed the meat with salt and spices, sprinkled it with finely chopped garlic and left to marinate for half an hour. Then I scattered pieces of meat on the container for steam, sprinkled them lightly with oil and, turning on the "soup" mode, cooked this yummy. With vegetables, the meat was incomparable.
If you only knew how delicious they turned out! Juicy plus to everything. And all because I cooked the minced meat correctly.
First of all, I ground the meat. I deliberately chose these two types. Having cut into pieces, convenient for grinding in a meat grinder or bdlener, I grind. Here at the end I added lard, and once again grinded everything together. The minced meat turned out to be just wonderful. It remains to skip the onion through a meat grinder, add salt, pepper and beat in one egg. Yes, it made the meatballs a little tougher, but they turned out to be delicious anyway. I put it down for fear that it would fall apart. We cook for a couple, setting the same mode. No need to wait for the beep. The meatballs cook very quickly. Serve with fresh vegetables.
Yes, I, like you, doubted the success of the operation. And therefore, she sculpted her favorite dumplings without much enthusiasm. But, as it turned out later, the fears were in vain. Everything turned out great!
Yes, homemade dumplings are tastier, but I experimented. And I didn’t regret it, tk. and it was delicious, and very simple, because you didn't have to catch and stir the dumplings. In a word, I sent all this beauty to the multi basket (having oiled it). But not in bulk, but in one layer. And, pouring water into the bowl, she turned on the "steaming" mode. A quarter of an hour and you're done. I poured the dumplings with butter, added a little salt, sprinkled with herbs and ate with pleasure. Recommend. Fast and hassle-free.
