Kyiv cutlets are a dish that every housewife wants to cook right, but it's not so easy to do so. Incorrect proportions and low-quality products can often ruin a delicious treat.

Today FoodOboz editorial team shares 5 main secrets of successful and tasty Kyiv cutlets, which you can easily cook at home.

1. Butter

This is the most important ingredient that determines the taste and flavor of the dish. Be sure to mix it with dill and parsley, and add 2-3 cloves of garlic, grated lemon zest, 1-2 tbsp of lemon juice and salt, and mix thoroughly.

Put the finished butter filling on cling film, wrap it up and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours to freeze.

2. Chicken breast

Be sure to choose a firm, fresh chicken breast. Cut it into fillets, beat it well with a kitchet hammer, season generously with salt and pepper, put a piece of butter filling and form cutlets with your hands.

3. Breading

The most important ingredients for a great breading are flour, breadcrumbs, eggs, and milk. Add 2-3 tbsp of milk to the eggs and whisk well.

Then dip the cutlet in flour, then in the egg mixture, in breadcrumbs, again in the egg mixture and finally in breadcrumbs. Only then can you fry it.

4. Oil

You will need a lot of oil to fry Kyiv cutlets - about 1 liter. Pour it into a saucepan with a narrow bottom, heat it well and throw in the cutlets. It is better to fry them one by one for about 5 minutes each.

5. Baking

After the cutlets are well fried, put them in a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes sothat they are even more flavorful, tastier, and most importantly, softer.
