Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 100 grams white bread (crust removed)
- 100 milliliters milk
- 50 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 200 grams breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Soak the white bread in milk for about 5 minutes until softened.
Step 2
Squeeze excess milk from the bread and add it to the ground chicken in a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Mix in the salt, black pepper, and the egg. Stir everything thoroughly to create a uniform mixture.
Step 4
Add the cubed cold butter into the chicken mixture and mix well. The butter will help to keep the cutlets juicy and tender.
Step 5
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into an oval or round patty.
Step 6
Pour breadcrumbs into a shallow tray or plate and coat each patty thoroughly in breadcrumbs on all sides.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Place the cutlets into the hot skillet and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked cutlets onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot with your choice of side dish such as mashed potatoes, buckwheat, or a simple green salad.
