2. It's better to prepare breadcrumb-coated meatballs in the oven at home using fresh meat rather than ready-made ground meat. To do this, pass washed and dried meat (in this case, chicken) through a meat grinder. Peel the onion and mince it as well. Optionally, you can add 1-2 garlic cloves. In a deep bowl, combine the ground meat, onion, egg, and well-squeezed bread. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, you can add more meat seasonings.

5. That's practically the entire recipe for preparing breaded cutlets in the oven. All that's left is to place the ready cutlets onto a baking sheet or heatproof dish, previously greased with vegetable oil. Put the cutlets into a preheated oven for 35–40 minutes (depending on their size). If desired, you can sprinkle them with grated cheese on top to form a crust.
