  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make juicy and tender chicken cutlets for children? The secret of such cutlets is actually very simple. But everything is in order. Start by preparing the necessary products according to the list. Minced chicken should consist of breast, without admixtures of skin and fat. Therefore, it is preferable to make minced meat yourself by grinding the breast in a blender or passing it through a meat grinder.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Cut the loaf into slices, pour in milk and leave to soak. Then squeeze out the excess milk well. Whether or not to cut off the crusts from the crumb before soaking is up to you. I did not - the bread is very well soaked over the entire surface.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Peel the onion and cut it into very small cubes. So that the onion is not felt at all in the cutlets, you can pass it through a meat grinder along with minced meat. However, in this case, the onion will let in a lot of moisture, and the minced meat may have to be slightly thickened with flour or semolina. If your child does not like onions, you can not add it to the cutlets at all.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    In a bowl, combine the minced chicken, onion, soaked pressed bread, egg and salt. If the children are old enough (schoolchildren), then you can optionally add a little ground black pepper. For children of kindergarten age, pepper is usually not added to the minced meat.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Knead the minced meat thoroughly until smooth. It should turn out to be of medium density, not liquid. Leave the minced meat to stand for 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    With slightly damp hands, form medium-sized cutlets from minced meat and roll in breadcrumbs on all sides. You can also take ready-made breadcrumbs from the store or make them yourself from dried and crushed white bread.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Put the cutlets in a baking dish lined with oiled parchment. I got 8 cutlets.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Put an oblong piece of butter on top of each cutlet. Put the cutlets in a preheated 180 ° C oven for 25-30 minutes. The exact time depends on the size and thickness of the cutlets, as well as on the characteristics of your oven. Enjoy your meal!

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste!
