Chicken cutlets with zucchini

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry chicken cutlets with zucchini? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. As chicken meat, I like to use chicken thigh fillets. It's not as dry as a breast fillet.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion from the husk and rinse in cold water. Chop the chicken meat and onion. This can be done by passing everything through a meat grinder or using a chopper. Fold the minced meat and onion into a spacious bowl, in which it will be convenient for you to mix everything.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the squash. If it has a hard peel, then it needs to be cleaned. Young zucchini can be used together with the peel. Grate the zucchini on a grater. For a more uniform consistency, you can use a fine grater. Squeeze out the excess liquid from the grated zucchini.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add the squeezed zucchini to the bowl to the minced meat. Then add the egg. To taste, sprinkle everything with a little salt and spices. As a spice, I use a mixture of ground peppers and paprika. Mix all the ingredients well with each other.

5. Step 5:

   

   Depending on the consistency of the cutlet mass, add 2-4 tablespoons of semolina. It will make the consistency a little thicker and denser. Instead of semolina, you can use starch or flour.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour the breadcrumbs into a small plate. Take a little cutlet mass, roll in breadcrumbs and form cutlets with your hands.

8. Step 7:

   

   Heat the frying pan to a hot state and pour a little vegetable oil. Lay out the formed cutlets and fry them over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side.

9. Step 8:

   

   The finished cutlets will become an appetizing golden color.
