Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make chicken cutlets in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take a large egg. It is better to make the stuffing yourself. If you take only chicken breast fillets for minced meat, the cutlets will turn out to be more dietary. I took the breast and thighs.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    To knead the minced meat, take a large deep bowl with a rounded bottom. Wash the egg with soap, dry it with a towel or napkin and break it into a bowl. Add semolina.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Mix well for uniformity and leave for 10-15 minutes so that the semolina absorbs the liquid and softens.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Peel the onion and garlic, rinse, chop with a knife and add to the minced meat. The smaller the slicing, the faster they will cook and the cutlets will look neater. Add salt and spices. I added only ground black pepper from spices.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Thoroughly knead the minced meat for the cutlets. If the minced meat is too dry and it is difficult to knead, add a little boiled cold water and continue to knead. It should be soft and tender, but not watery.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    To prevent the minced meat from sticking to your hands, moisten your hands with warm water or vegetable oil and form oblong or round cutlets. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and place the cutlets at a small distance from each other. Bake in a preheated oven to 200 degrees for 25-30 minutes on the top-bottom mode.

The exact time depends on the capabilities of your oven. As soon as the cutlets are browned, take them out of the oven and remove them from the baking sheet so that they do not become dry.

The cutlets are very tender and juicy. Serve them hot with mashed potatoes or any other side dish. When serving, you can decorate the cutlets with herbs, add any sauce suitable for poultry.

Out of the specified number of products, I got 20 cutlets. I baked 12 of them at once and froze 8 more.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !

So that the oven has time to heat up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance (10-20 minutes before cooking).

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
