Juicy chicken cutlets

Juicy chicken cutlets are the embodiment of home comfort and delicate flavor. This recipe originates from European cuisine, where cutlets have always held a special place at family lunches. The perfect combination of chicken fillet, zucchini, and cheese makes them incredibly juicy and aromatic, while rosemary adds a subtle spicy note. They are easy to prepare without breading, making them less fatty and healthier. They pair wonderfully with vegetables, mashed potatoes, or fresh salads. A great option for a light dinner or hearty lunch. Cutlets can be served as a standalone dish or used to create appetizing burgers. Each bite contains the tenderness of chicken, the light sweetness of zucchini, and the gooey cheese texture that transforms ordinary cutlets into culinary delight.
1
Pass the chicken fillet through a meat grinder or chop it finely.
- Chicken breast: 1 piece
2
Chop the zucchini and onion into small cubes.
- Zucchini: 0.5 piece
- Onion: 1 head
3
Grate the cheese.
- Cheese: 100 g
4
Mix everything, add an egg and rosemary to taste. Knead the minced meat well. You can add a little salt to the minced meat — the patties turn out quite salty due to the cheese.
- Chicken egg: 1 piece
- Rosemary: to taste
5
Heat the pan with vegetable oil well. Use a spoon to place the minced meat in the pan, forming patties (I used 2 tablespoons of minced meat for one patty). Fry over medium heat without covering. Once the patties are browned, carefully flip them over with a spatula. Fry until cooked through.

Serve with vegetable or any other side dish.
