Chicken cutlets with butter are a tender, juicy dish of Russian cuisine that captivates with its simplicity and rich flavor. Its origins trace back to traditional cutlets, but the addition of butter inside transforms them into a special culinary delight. When cut, the hot butter flows out smoothly, creating softness and richness in taste. The crispy crust from breadcrumbs adds a textural contrast, while the aroma of spices makes the dish truly appetizing. These cutlets are perfect for serving with potato sides or fresh vegetables, creating a harmony of flavors. The versatility of the dish makes it a favorite in both everyday meals and festive tables.
