  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make chicken cutlets with greens? Take the chicken fillet and cut it into oblong pieces so that they pass freely into the meat grinder.

    Scroll the sliced meat through the meat grinder.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Peel the onion, rinse it in cool water and pass it through a meat grinder, following the meat. Wash the greens and dry them well. Chop it finely with a knife. I took green onions and parsley, but any one will suit your taste.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Add egg and chopped greens to the resulting minced meat. To taste, add a little salt to the minced meat and sprinkle with dry spices to taste (I took ground pepper and paprika). Mix the meat mass very well with your hands. Beat the minced meat a little on the bottom of the bowl to make the cutlets more dense.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Form small cutlets from the resulting mass and roll them in breadcrumbs. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and lay out the cutlets. Fry them over medium heat for a couple of minutes, until golden brown.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Then turn the cutlets over with a spatula and fry on the other side, also for 2-3 minutes. Put the finished cutlets in an empty saucepan and leave them to lie under the lid for a while. Prepare a side dish of mashed potatoes or spaghetti for such cutlets. Enjoy your meal!

The greens added to the cutlet mass gives the finished cutlets a unique taste, especially if green onions are preferred in the greens.
When cooking cutlets, you can add grated cheese to them. If the meat is too dry, then you can add a little sour cream or kefir for juiciness.
In order to make them more satisfying and nutritious, you can add a little crumb of a loaf soaked in milk to their composition.
A meal with these cutlets can be supplemented with a salad of fresh vegetables or vegetable slicing.

Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way to defrost chicken read in  article about proper defrosting of products .

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .
