30 minutes

Chicken cutlets with cheese and parsley are a tender and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine, combining the softness of chicken fillet, the creamy taste of cheese, and the fresh note of parsley. The history of cutlets goes back centuries when meat was minced and mixed with various ingredients to create a juicier and airier texture. In this recipe, kefir makes the mixture more tender, while starch gives the cutlets a light elasticity. The cheese inside melts during frying, creating appetizing stretchy strands. They can be served with a vegetable garnish or a light salad. These cutlets are perfect for a family dinner, and their softness makes them appealing even to children.
