- This recipe probably wasn't actually invented by Albanians — you'll find all sorts of stories about where this way of cooking chicken breast comes from. What sets it apart from ordinary cutlets and meatballs is that the meat is cut into small cubes and a lot of eggs go into the batter. The result is impressive! It's not just an everyday dish — it's just as fitting for breakfast, as a main course at lunch, or for dinner, and it's a hit on the holiday table too (I've tested it!). 1. Rinse the chicken breasts, pat them dry with paper towels, and set them on your work surface. Cut the breasts into small cubes and transfer the chopped chicken to a bowl. 2. Crack the eggs in with the meat. Add salt, ground black pepper, and the potato starch, and stir. 3. Add the mayonnaise to the rest of the ingredients (you can use sour cream instead of mayonnaise) and mix well. 4. Peel the garlic cloves, press them, add them to the bowl too, and stir well again. 5. The batter is ready — time to fry. Heat a skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat. Spoon the batter onto the hot skillet, forming small patties. 6. Cover the skillet, cook for ten minutes, then flip the patties and cook for another eight minutes, keeping the lid on. They should come out with a golden, appetizing crust. Serve hot. Add any side dish you like — Albanian-style chicken goes well with potatoes, grains, and pasta, as well as fresh, boiled, or roasted vegetables. Be sure to garnish with fresh, fragrant sprigs of herbs. Enjoy — and have a great day!
