Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Gather all the ingredients for the cutlets. You can use a soft processed cheese instead of hard cheese, but I like them better with a firm, sharp cheese.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Rinse the chicken breast, pat it dry with a paper towel, and cut it into small pieces. If you would rather not chop it by hand, run the chicken through a meat grinder using a very coarse plate (about 1/4 inch / 0.5 cm). Grate the hard cheese on the fine side of a box grater. Press the garlic through a garlic press.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, cheese, and garlic. Crack in the egg, add the sour cream and mayonnaise, then season with salt and pepper and mix well. Stir in the flour a little at a time. Depending on how moist your ingredients are, you may need anywhere from 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour — you want the mixture thick enough that it isn't runny and the cutlets hold their shape.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Once the flour is mixed in, let the mixture rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, drop the cutlets in by the spoonful, and fry until golden brown on both sides. Serve these chopped cheese cutlets with any side dish you like.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    These wonderfully tender, quick cheese cutlets are ready! They're best served right away, while still hot. Enjoy!

  • These cheesy chicken cutlets are inspired by French home cooking, where simple, everyday dishes are prepared with care and made to taste rich and satisfying. In France, fast food never really took hold — meals are meant to be lingered over, whether at the family table or in a restaurant. This is a quick take on that idea: an easy, popular dish that delivers plenty of juiciness and tenderness. I hope you love it.
