60 minutes
Baked chicken cutlets are a classic dish of Russian cuisine that combines simplicity and exquisite taste. The origins of this recipe trace back to home cooking traditions where every housewife aimed to create tender and juicy cutlets for the whole family. The secret to tenderness lies in adding bread soaked in milk, which gives the cutlets an airy texture. Baking them in the oven makes them less greasy while preserving the juiciness and richness of chicken meat flavor. The aroma of freshly ground pepper and the tenderness of melted onion create an appetizing composition, perfectly complemented by a side of vegetables or mashed potatoes. This versatile dish is suitable for both everyday dinners and festive gatherings, bringing warmth and homely comfort.
