Delicious Chicken Cutlets

Here's a recipe for delicious chicken cutlets:

Ingredients:

1 pound ground chicken

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 egg, beaten

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

Prepare the Ground Chicken Mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, beaten egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything together until well combined.

Shape the Chicken Cutlets:

Take a small handful of the chicken mixture and shape it into a flat patty or cutlet. You can make them round or oval-shaped, depending on your preference. Repeat this process until all of the mixture is used up.

Heat the Oil:

Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet or frying pan to cover the bottom with about 1/4 inch of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking. To test if the oil is ready, you can drop a small piece of the chicken mixture into the oil; if it sizzles and starts to fry, the oil is hot enough.

Fry the Chicken Cutlets:

Carefully place the chicken cutlets into the hot oil, ensuring they don't touch each other. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).

Drain and Serve:

Once the chicken cutlets are cooked and crispy, use a slotted spatula to remove them from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve:

Serve the chicken cutlets hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes. They go well with ketchup, mayonnaise, or a homemade aioli sauce. You can also serve them in a sandwich or with a salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy your homemade chicken cutlets! They make a delicious and versatile dish that's perfect for appetizers, snacks, or a main course.
