Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry chicken cutlets with zucchini? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. For chicken meat, I like to use chicken thigh fillets. It is not as dry as breast fillet.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the onion and rinse in cold water. Grind chicken meat and onion. This can be done by passing everything through a meat grinder or using a chopper. Place the minced meat and onions in a spacious bowl in which you can conveniently mix everything.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash the zucchini. If it has a hard peel, then it needs to be peeled. Young zucchini can be used with the peel on. Grate the zucchini. For a more uniform consistency, you can use a fine grater. Squeeze out excess liquid from grated zucchini.

Step 4

Step 4
Add the squeezed zucchini to the bowl with the minced meat. Then add the egg. Sprinkle everything with a little salt and spices to taste. For spices I use a mixture of ground peppers and paprika. Mix all ingredients well with each other.

Step 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.

Step 6

Step 6
Place breadcrumbs in a small plate. Take some cutlet mixture, roll in breadcrumbs and form cutlets with your hands.

Step 7

Step 7
Heat a frying pan until hot and pour in a little vegetable oil. Place the formed cutlets and fry them over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Step 8

Step 8
The finished cutlets will turn an appetizing golden color.

Step 9
Chicken cutlets with zucchini are ready! Serve them with any side dish or fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!
