Chicken cutlets with bread
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can use store-bought minced meat, but it will taste better if you prepare it yourself. I'm using minced chicken breast, but you can use fillet from any part of the chicken. Use spices to your taste. If desired, you can add fresh herbs, grated cheese, or finely chopped bacon to the minced meat. Delicious both on its own and with any side dish of your choice. I recommend giving it a try. Serve hot.

Squeeze all the milk out of the bread thoroughly and pass the bread crumb through a meat grinder. Grind the onion, garlic, and chicken fillet through the meat grinder as well.

Step 7
Then beat the meat mixture against the bowl and let it rest for a few minutes. To beat the mixture, take a portion in your hand and forcefully throw it back into the bowl, repeating this several times (usually for 4-5 minutes). This process makes the meat mixture more uniform, loose, and juicy, improves its texture, enriches it with oxygen, and helps spices distribute more evenly, ultimately enhancing the flavor and texture of the cooked patties.

With wet hands, take a small amount of the meat mixture and roll it in breadcrumbs, shaping it into a patty of desired shape and size.
