Chopped chicken cutlets with cheese

Chopped chicken cutlets with cheese are a tender and juicy dish that captivates with its simplicity and rich flavor. Their origin is linked to Latin American cuisine, where the harmony of ingredients and rich aromas are valued. The chicken fillet, diced into small cubes, retains its structure while the cheese adds an appetizing stretchiness to the cutlets. Mayonnaise makes the meat juicier, and spices add a characteristic spiciness. The breading gives the cutlets a crispy crust, making them perfect for serving with a fresh salad or side dish. This versatile dish is suitable for both family dinners and festive tables, delighting guests with its rich taste and appetizing aroma.
