Chicken cutlets in the oven
Description
To make the chicken patties in the oven more aromatic and flavorful, add your favorite spices, herbs, chicken or meat seasoning, or a universal seasoning to the minced meat. Since the patties may stick to the baking sheet or parchment paper while baking, you can lightly grease them with vegetable or butter oil. If you don't want to add any fat at all, use a silicone baking mat.
