Juicy minced chicken cutlets are a true symbol of home comfort and simple pleasure. This recipe originated as a variation of classic meat cutlets when hostesses sought to make the dish more tender and airy. Diced chicken fillet mixed with aromatic onion and garlic creates a juicy texture, while egg and flour give the cutlets density and softness. Mayonnaise adds a light creamy note that enhances the flavor. Cooked in a pan with minimal oil, they remain incredibly tender even after cooling down. They can be served with mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, or a light sauce. These cutlets are perfect for family dinners, light lunches, or even festive gatherings, delighting with their simplicity of preparation and rich taste.
