Chopped chicken cutlets with herbs are the embodiment of simplicity and flavor harmony in Russian cuisine. The roots of this dish go back to traditional village recipes where meat was chopped by hand to preserve its juiciness. Tender chicken fillet, fragrant dill, and light mayonnaise create an airy, soft texture, while the egg component binds all the ingredients together. The salty, spicy taste complemented by hints of fresh herbs makes these cutlets versatile – they are perfect for both everyday dinners and festive feasts. They are easy to prepare by simply spooning onto a hot skillet, and the crispy crust adds special appeal. It is best served with a side of vegetables or potatoes to highlight their delicate flavor.
