Cutlets without bread and breadcrumbs: they keep their shape and are healthy

Soaked bread is often added to the minced meat to make the cutlets puffy and hold their shape. And for a crispy crust, the products are dipped in breadcrumbs. But all these ingredients make the dish too floury, and it's hard to call it healthy. Therefore, you can use the following technology and do without breadcrumbs and bread.

The idea of cooking healthy cutlets without bread and breadcrumbs was published on the Instagram page of a food blogger with the nickname tasty_land_1.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of minced chicken (fillet + thigh meat)
• 1 small zucchini
• 100-150 grams of hard cheese without preservatives
• fine corn flour (for breading)
• natural spices to taste
• if desired, you can add finely chopped onions, garlic, grated carrots or herbs.

Method of preparation:

1.Grate or chop the cheese finely.

2. Finely grate the zucchini, let the juice drain and squeeze it out.

3. Twist the meat (or use a tested minced meat).

4. Combine the minced meat, zucchini, cheese and spices.

5. Form the cutlets and roll them in corn flour.

6. Bake in the oven at 150-170 degrees for 20 minutes, and then for 5-10 minutes at 200 degrees (if you don't have an oven, you can sauté the cutlets in a frying pan, covered, on both sides over low heat for 30 minutes).
