Kiev cutlets with cheese in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make Kiev cutlets in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Pick the dill, rinse it and be sure to dry it. The cheese that you take for the cutlets should melt well, mozzarella is also perfect here. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft.

2. Step 2:

   

   Finely chop the dill and put it in a bowl. Add soft butter and grated cheese on a medium or fine grater. Add salt and mix everything so that the products are evenly distributed.

3. Step 3:

   

   Spread the film on the table and put the cheese mass on it. With the help of hands and film, form a sausage. Wrap it in a film and put it in the freezer for one hour. It should be about 2 cm in diameter, otherwise you will have to cut it in half so that you can freely seal it inside the cutlet.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash and dry the chicken breast. Cut each breast lengthwise into two parts.

5. Step 5:

   

   Cover a piece of breast with a film and beat it off very carefully, trying not to tear the meat. Season the chopped breast with salt and pepper.

6. Step 6:

   

   Cut the frozen cheese sausage into four pieces. Put one on each edge of the chipped part of the breast and, wrapping with a roll, bend the edges, form a cutlet in Kiev. It is most convenient to do this with wet hands, then they will not stick.

8. Step 7:

   

   The chicken should fit snugly to the cheese filling and completely cover the fillet, otherwise, when heated, the oil will leak out and the cutlet will be dry. Put it in the refrigerator and let it lie for 20-30 minutes so that the joints of the cutlets stick together better.

9. Step 8:

   

   In a bowl, break the egg and mix until smooth. Dip each cutlet completely into the egg.

10. Step 9:

    

    Transfer the cutlet in the egg to breadcrumbs and thoroughly pan. They should be completely covered with breadcrumbs. It is best to take small crackers, they cover the surface of the cutlets better.

11. Step 10:

    

    Grease the baking dish with vegetable oil and lay the cutlets in Kiev seam down.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put in a hot oven and bake the Kiev cutlets for 60 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. If you want a more fried crust, after 50 minutes, brush them with melted butter or vegetable oil. Determine the exact time by your oven. Do not be lazy to periodically check the degree of readiness of the dish, so as not to overcook or undercook it.

13. Step 12:

    

    Take out the form with Kiev cutlets and serve them immediately with any side dish. Enjoy your meal.
