Minsk-style cutlets
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The dish turns out not only delicious but also quite filling; you can serve it with any side dish of your choice or on its own with fresh vegetables. Tender chicken mince with mushrooms is a perfect combination—these patties will surely win you over. You can use any mushrooms you like, both fresh and frozen. To enrich the mushroom filling, I suggest adding grated cheese, butter, and fresh aromatic herbs. Serve hot.
