Low-fat chicken breast cutlet recipe

Prepare all the ingredients for the PP recipe for chicken breast cutlets in the oven: Rinse the chicken with cold water and dry it with a paper towel to remove excess liquid. Separate the chicken breast from the bone, you can put the bone in a disposable bag and freeze it for future use in chicken broth. It turns out very rich if you use several pieces at once. You can also use breast without bone. When choosing chicken breast, pay attention to the color of the meat - it should not have bluish-greenish shades, the meat itself should be firm. You can check the firmness of the meat by pressing it with your finger and seeing if the meat returns to its original shape. If the fingerprint remains and does not disappear, it means the meat is not fresh. The smell is also indicative, fresh meat has a neutral smell.

Cut the chicken into thin pieces, then dice it and continue to chop the chicken. In the end, you should get almost minced meat. The smaller the pieces, the easier it will be to form patties out of it. You can also use a food processor or blender to speed up the cooking process for both meat and greens (be careful with greens, as it can release juice and dye the cutlets). But chopping into small pieces will retain more juiciness for the PP chicken breast cutlets.

You can soak the greens for 10 minutes before cooking, this will help remove dirt better. After soaking, rinse the greens under running water and remove excess moisture. Finely chop the greens and mix.

Add greens, paprika, pepper, cornstarch, garlic passed through a garlic press, egg, and salt to the chicken.

Mix everything well and let it sit for 5 minutes to let the ingredients combine.

Using spoons or hands moistened with water or a small amount of oil (to prevent meat from sticking to hands), shape the patties into boat shapes. Place them in an oiled pan. Arrange the patties not too close to each other for easier serving.

Preheat the oven to 170-180 degrees Celsius. Bake the patties at 180 degrees Celsius for 30-40 minutes until lightly golden. 5 minutes before they are done, you can brush them with vegetable oil for a vibrant color (if the patties were shaped with oil-moistened hands, you can skip this step). This mixture can also be prepared in a skillet with a small amount of oil. Fry on both sides until golden. The formed patties can also be frozen and used as needed. Serve the patties hot with herbs and freshly ground pepper. A great addition to these patties would be a salad, couscous, quinoa, bulgur, or cauliflower, and you can also add sauce. A great complement to these patties would be cranberry sauce. It will enrich the flavor and add bright colors to the dish. PP chicken breast patties in the oven are ready. Enjoy your meal.
