Cheesy chicken cutlets are a tender and appetizing dish of Russian cuisine that combines simplicity and exquisite taste. The history of this recipe traces back to the tradition of preparing meat cutlets, which became popular due to their soft texture and rich aroma. In this version, chicken fillet is fried in a light batter with cheese added, giving the dish a pleasant crispy crust and juiciness. Mayonnaise and herbs in the batter add zest, while ham provides a touch of richness. These cutlets are perfect for a family dinner or festive table, pairing well with side dishes, fresh vegetables, and sauces. The simplicity of preparation makes this dish accessible even for novice cooks.
