Chicken cutlets in breadcrumbs are a classic dish of Russian cuisine, easy to prepare and incredibly tasty. Their history is rooted in the traditions of home cooking, where hostesses aimed to make meat dishes more tender and juicy. The addition of soaked bread and milk gives the cutlets softness, while the breadcrumb coating provides an appetizing crispy crust. The aroma of fried chicken meat mixed with the light spiciness of onion and black pepper makes this dish indispensable on the family table. They pair perfectly with mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, or sour cream sauce, and their tender texture and rich flavor turn an ordinary lunch into a cozy gastronomic delight.
