Chicken breast chops in semolina

4 servings

30 minutes

Chicken breast cutlets in semolina are a simple yet exquisite dish of Russian cuisine, featuring a tender texture and an appetizing golden crust. Semolina gives the meat softness and light airiness, while the egg and mayonnaise create a thin aromatic layer. The combination of salt and black pepper makes the flavor rich and harmonious. This dish is perfect for both family dinners and festive tables. It can be served with vegetables, fresh herbs, or a light sauce that highlights the rich taste of the cutlets. Historically similar breading methods were used in Russian cooking to ensure meat tenderness and retain juiciness when frying. The simplicity of preparation and accessible ingredients make these cutlets an excellent choice for lovers of cozy home cooking.
