Recipe for cooking chicken cutlets with vegetables and rice, baked in the oven
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Wash the chicken fillet, dry it from excess moisture with paper towels. Clean the meat from fat and films, cut into large pieces. Grind the chicken fillet into mince using a blender or a meat grinder with a fine grate. Thoroughly wash the long-grain rice, fill it with cold water, boil until tender, throw it into a sieve. In a deep bowl, combine the chicken mince and rice cooled to room temperature.
