Juicy chicken cutlets with zucchini and rice are a tender and aromatic dish perfect for a family dinner. It combines the traditions of European cuisine while adding freshness with zucchini. The zucchini makes the cutlets especially soft, while the rice gives them a pleasant texture and richness of flavor. The chicken fillet—the base of the dish—remains juicy due to the right combination of ingredients. A light flour coating gives the cutlets an appetizing golden crust. These cutlets can be served with any side dishes—mashed potatoes, vegetables, or a light salad. This dish is not only tasty but also healthy as it combines proteins, fiber, and vitamins for balanced nutrition.
