Steamed chicken cutlets are a tender and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine, perfect for those who value light and healthy eating. They have a soft texture and rich flavor due to the combination of chicken mince, fresh herbs, spices, and grated cheese. Historically, steamed cutlets became popular due to dietary recommendations and the desire to preserve the maximum benefits of ingredients. This recipe allows you to prepare cutlets that pair perfectly with steamed vegetables or light side dishes. Their delicate taste makes them a favorite dish for both adults and children, while the addition of tomatoes adds a slight tanginess that enhances the overall flavor composition. The simple and quick cooking method makes chicken cutlets an excellent choice for a home lunch or dinner.
1
Add an egg, spices, salt, and soaked bread crumbs in milk to the minced meat, and mix.
- Chicken egg: 1 piece
- Spices: to taste
- Salt: to taste
- White bread crumb: to taste
- Milk: to taste
2
Finely chop the greens and add them to the minced meat.
- Green: to taste
3
Finely chop the tomato (I cut it into small cubes), first peeling off the skin (for this, it's convenient to dip the vegetable in boiling water for 10 seconds — the skin comes off more easily). Add the cubes to the minced meat.

4
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater, add it to the minced meat, and mix the entire mass thoroughly.
- Grated cheese: 200 g
5
Shape the minced meat into patties of your preferred size and place them in the steamer.
