Chicken cutlets without bread
Description
Tender chicken patties without bread are not too high in calories, and if you're watching your figure, you can prepare them using ground chicken. Add an egg, parsley, and spices to the meat — and you'll get a delicious main course. These patties go well with any grain, pasta, or potatoes as a side dish.

Step 1
1. Chicken cutlets made without bread turn out very tender and incredibly delicious. They go well with any side dish, and even children will happily eat them. It's better to use ground chicken made from all parts of the chicken, as cutlets made from breast meat alone tend to be too dry. Mix the ground meat with an egg, minced onion, salt, and spices. Nothing else needs to be added to the meat mixture.

2. The minced meat needs to be thoroughly kneaded, then shaped into patties (it's better to use wet hands to prevent the meat from sticking), and placed onto a frying pan. The patties should be fried on both sides in well-heated vegetable oil until a golden-brown crust forms.

3. When you flip the chicken patties to the other side, cover them with a lid. This way, they will steam nicely, and you won't need to simmer them in sauce.

4. While the cutlets were frying, I boiled rice for a side dish and sliced fresh vegetables. Serve chicken cutlets hot (they can be placed on a bed of vegetables).
