Chicken cutlets with zucchini in a frying pan
Almost everyone loves chicken cutlets. But what if we make them even more tender? To do this, add chopped zucchini to the minced chicken. This will make the cutlets much juicier, tastier and healthier. If desired, the products can be baked in the oven or steamed. This dish is perfect not only for dietary, but also for baby food.
You can use ready-made minced chicken for the recipe, but it is better to make it yourself. For this, choose fresh chicken fillet or thigh meat, it is juicier. Zucchini has a neutral taste, so you don’t feel it at all in the cutlets. For a denser consistency, I added wheat flour to the minced meat. It can be replaced with corn starch or semolina.
Serve the aromatic cutlets with your favorite side dish, fresh vegetables and hot sauce.
