Chicken cutlets with cottage cheese

Chicken cutlets with cottage cheese are a tender and juicy dish of Russian cuisine that combines the softness of chicken mince and the slight acidity of cottage cheese. This recipe originates from healthy eating traditions, combining the protein richness of meat with the beneficial properties of cottage cheese. Seasoned with nutmeg and black pepper, the cutlets acquire a spicy aroma, while the addition of onion makes them juicier. They are cooked without oil in a dry pan, making them ideal for a diet. They are great as a standalone dish with vegetables or a side dish and can also serve as a base for hearty sandwiches. These cutlets are especially tasty when hot but remain tender even after cooling.
