Chicken and Cabbage Cutlets

Tasty, juicy, tender chicken-and-cabbage cutlets! Cutlets made from ground chicken alone tend to come out dry, dense, and tough. Working a little chopped cabbage into the mix gives you cutlets that are wonderfully tasty, tender, and juicy — and you won't taste the cabbage at all. Serve them for lunch or dinner for the whole family, with or without a side.

Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Gather the ingredients from the list. Adjust the ratio to taste — use equal amounts of cabbage and chicken, or more of one and less of the other.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Young, juicy cabbage works best. Peel off the dirty outer leaves and finely chop the cabbage in a food processor, blender, or with a knife. Cut out the core, which can turn the mixture bitter. Put the chopped cabbage in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and knead it well with your hands so it releases its juices. Don't squeeze the juice out — the ground chicken is dry and needs the moisture.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Rinse the chicken well and grind it in a meat grinder or blender. Peel the onion and chop it finely with a knife.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Add the chopped cabbage to the bowl with the ground chicken, along with the onion. Season with salt and ground black pepper, then crack in the egg.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Mix everything thoroughly so the ingredients come together and the seasoning is evenly distributed.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Pour the wheat flour onto a plate. With wet hands, shape the mixture into small cutlets and dredge them in the flour. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and set it over the heat.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Once the oil is hot, add the cutlets. Fry them over medium heat until browned on the first side.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Flip the cutlets and brown the other side — about 5 minutes per side. Then pour a little water into the pan, cover it, and cook the cutlets for about 25 minutes. Remove the lid; if any liquid remains in the bottom, let it cook off, holding the cutlets on one side and then the other so the crust dries out on both.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Take the cutlets out of the pan and serve, with sour cream or another sauce. Enjoy!
