Chicken cutlets in cheese batter are an elegant dish of French cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken fillet with the rich aroma of hard cheese. The idea of breading meat pieces in cheese and eggs is believed to have originated in French bistros, where they aimed to highlight the natural flavor of the ingredients. The golden crispy crust adds appeal to the dish while keeping the meat juicy and tender inside. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive table. Chicken cutlets can be served with light salads, mashed potatoes, or fresh vegetables, complemented by a mustard or sour cream-based sauce. Due to its simplicity and accessible ingredients, this recipe has become popular in many countries.
