Chopped chicken cutlets with cheese and herbs are a simple yet exquisite dish from European cuisine. The combination of tender chicken fillet, aromatic cheese, and fresh herbs makes the cutlets incredibly juicy and flavorful. This recipe is convenient as it doesn't require complex culinary skills, and the result is always impressive. A light crispy crust hides a soft texture inside, while spices like paprika, thyme, and rosemary add a special zest to the dish. These cutlets can be served with a side dish, fresh vegetables, or used as a base for burgers. The versatility of this dish makes it an ideal choice for a cozy family dinner or festive table.

"The meat mixture" turns out to be quite liquid. We arm ourselves with a large spoon. It is with this that we will place the future cutlets on the hot frying pan.

Fry the chicken 'oladushki' on both sides until a delicious golden crust forms in an uncovered pan. It's better not to keep them too long, as the patties are thin and will quickly lose their juiciness.
