Today we are preparing tender and very juicy chicken cutlets, which contain cottage cheese. The result is a nourishing, aromatic and very tasty second course that goes well with almost any side dish. Serve these delicious and golden-brown chicken cutlets with mashed potatoes or just boiled potatoes, rice, pasta, and cereals.
Due to the fact that this second dish includes chicken breast, it will not take much time to prepare the cutlets. Thanks to the addition of cottage cheese of any fat content to the minced meat, this meat dish will pleasantly surprise you with its juiciness and tenderness. Chicken cutlets can be breaded not only in breadcrumbs, but also in flour - this is purely a matter of taste.
Ingredients:

Cooking the dish step by step with photos:
The recipe for chicken cutlets that we will prepare today includes the following ingredients: chicken fillet (in my case, chicken breast), cottage cheese, chicken egg, onions, fresh garlic, dill (or other herbs to taste), breadcrumbs (I make my own at home). cooking), salt, ground black pepper and refined vegetable oil (I use sunflower) for frying.
For me personally, the most convenient way to make minced chicken is not with a meat grinder, but in a food processor (the attachment is a metal knife). Then you can simply combine all the necessary ingredients in a container and beat them until smooth. If you don't have a food processor, pass the chicken fillet through a meat grinder.
Peel a medium onion and a clove of fresh garlic, then grate it into a paste on the finest grater. Chop fresh herbs (in my case dill) finely and finely with a knife.
Now we need to thoroughly mix the minced chicken, chopped onion, garlic and herbs. In addition, add cottage cheese, chicken egg, salt and ground black pepper. You can knead the minced meat for chicken cutlets by hand, but a food processor can do it in a matter of seconds.
The result is relatively homogeneous minced meat for chicken cutlets. By the way, if you love and often cook chicken fillet cutlets, you probably know that the minced meat turns out sticky and you need to form the cutlets with your hands moistened with cold water.
Pour breadcrumbs into a flat dish or plate and roll the pre-prepared cutlets into them. I got 7 medium sized pieces. Choose the shape yourself - you can make it round, triangular or oblong (like mine).
In itself, it is a very healthy fermented milk product, containing many substances valuable to the human body: calcium compounds, B vitamins, milk proteins and fats. You can cook various dishes with cottage cheese, not only pastries and desserts, but also cutlets.
Cottage cheese in meat cutlets will add health benefits to them (milk protein + calcium compounds), and with cottage cheese they will be of interest to fasting people and vegetarians of various kinds. We'll tell you how and what kind of cutlets with cottage cheese you can prepare.

Ingredients:
- chicken fillet (meat from the breast and/or thighs) – about 500 g;
- chicken eggs – 2-3 pcs.;
- fresh natural cottage cheese of medium fat content – 200-300 g;

The meat should not be wet (rinse and dry with a clean napkin). Pass the meat through a meat grinder with a medium attachment (you can add an onion, but not necessary). Add cottage cheese, eggs and some spices, maybe add a little salt. Mix thoroughly with a fork. And with wet hands, using a tablespoon, form cutlets.
Next, we either bake the cutlets with cottage cheese in the oven, placing them on a greased baking sheet for 30-40 minutes. Or boil them in a double boiler for 20-25 minutes (which is preferable). You can serve the cutlets with any side dish (rice, young beans, boiled potatoes, chickpeas, buckwheat, any cereal porridge, pasta) and some light sauce. We decorate with greenery.
Following the same recipe, you can prepare cutlets from young beef with cottage cheese, you can also mix minced chicken with beef and/or minced turkey.
Fish cutlets with cottage cheese can be prepared approximately following the same recipe (see above). It is better to choose low-fat fish. Pike, pike perch, hake, cod, pollock, and pollock are suitable. If the fish is frozen, you need to defrost it and drain the remaining liquid. Fish cutlets can be coated in flour or breadcrumbs and fried, steamed or baked. Fish cutlets naturally cook faster than meat cutlets.

Boil the potatoes in any way and mash them. Add cottage cheese, finely chopped dill, eggs or cheese, and some spices to the puree. Mix everything thoroughly and form cutlets. Next, fry them in a frying pan or steam them, or bake them in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
You can add minced fish or chicken to the same original potato-curd mince - it will turn out delicious. These cutlets can be served without a side dish.
I would never be able to believe that cutlets with the addition of cottage cheese come out with such an extraordinary taste. But after I prepared them myself according to this recipe, I was simply delighted with them. Despite the unusual combination of ingredients, the cutlets turn out very tender and incredibly tasty. They are very simple and quick to prepare; the cooking method is almost classic and traditional. It is best to use mixed minced meat for cooking (pork + beef), you choose the fat content of the cottage cheese as desired, I add homemade, which I make myself. These delicious cutlets are best served with a vegetable side dish or a portion of a good fresh salad.
Ingredients:
- minced meat 500 gr
- onion 2 pcs
- 100 gr
- breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil for frying
- salt, pepper to taste
Cooking method
Three onions on a coarse grater or chop very finely, mash the cottage cheese with a fork so that there are no large lumps and add everything to the minced meat. Salt and pepper to taste and mix well until smooth, lightly beating the minced meat on a bowl or tossing it from hand to hand. With slightly damp hands, form cutlets (do not make them large), bread them in breadcrumbs and fry in the usual way in a frying pan in vegetable oil. Cook them on both sides for a few minutes until cooked and nicely browned. I don’t simmer the fried cutlets additionally under the lid; they have time to fry until fully cooked. Bon appetit.

Good afternoon, my dears. Today I will be happy to add an incredibly tasty and original dish to your collection of recipes :)
5 rules of proper nutrition from Olga Dekker
In this article, I will share with you how to cook chicken cutlets with cottage cheese.
The recipe is just a godsend for those who are trying to watch their figure and at the same time want to pamper their family with a delicious dinner. The cutlets turn out very juicy and tender, thanks to the creamy taste of the cheese :)
Oh! thanks to the creamy taste of the curd grains... I wanted to write :)
What do we need for minced chicken cutlets with cottage cheese?
Products:
- Minced chicken breast – 400 g
- Cottage cheese (fat content not less than 9%) – 180 g
- Chicken egg – 1 pc.
- Breadcrumbs - 4 tbsp. l.
- Onion – 1 pc. medium size
- Dill – 20 gr
- Cream – 200 ml
- Salt, pepper to taste
- Sunflower oil (for frying)
Everything is? Ready to get started? Then turn on the music and get started... Now I suggest you listen to Sade - No Ordinary Love. By the way, you will find a step-by-step recipe with photos right under this video :)
So, a detailed recipe with beautiful photos :)
1. Finely chop the dill and onion. The finer the onion is chopped, the more tender the cutlets will be.
2. Mix minced chicken with egg, cottage cheese, chopped onion and herbs. Mix vigorously. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Keep in mind that the more intensely you knead the minced meat, the fluffier and tastier the dish will be.
3. Form balls. A little trick will help you here. If you wet your hands with water, it will be much easier to form the correct shape. Place the balls on a plate with breadcrumbs and dip generously.
4. Fry in a well-heated frying pan on both sides. The amount of oil depends on your preference, but I recommend simply brushing the pan.
This will be enough for the cutlets to be well fried, acquire an appetizing golden crust, but not be overly fatty and heavy.
5. Pour in cream and let simmer under the lid for 10 minutes.
6. You can serve with greens, stewed zucchini or other dietary side dish.
The melted curd mass gives a delicate creamy taste and reduces the number of calories. Bon appetit:)
Let's count calories and nutritional supplements?
The energy value of the product per 100 g is 156.7 calories.
- Fat - 7.94 g
- Carbohydrates - 2.87 g
- Proteins - 17.68 g
As you can see, this is not only tasty, but also a dietary dish that will help satisfy your hunger and will not leave extra centimeters on your waist:)
Have you prepared it and tried it?..
Now is the time for a little rest. A good mood is needed always and everywhere:)
Did you smile? Read below how you can cook cutlets in the oven, in a slow cooker or in a double boiler.
Cooking in the oven
Place the formed balls, previously rolled in breadcrumbs, on a baking sheet. To prevent our dish from burning, you can place it on baking parchment. Preheat the oven to 2000C and bake for 25 minutes.
How to check if a dish is ready? Pierce the cutlet in the middle, and if clear juice comes out, it’s time to take it out.
In a double boiler - even juicier!
If you are a fan of juicy and healthy steamed food, then this method is just for you. Place the formed balls on the bottom of the steamer and turn on the “Steam” mode for 30 minutes. Breadcrumbs are not needed in this version.
Such healthy and juicy cutlets are perfect for small children :)
And if you add grated zucchini to the minced meat, then the children will gobble up the meat balls on both cheeks without even noticing the “catch” :)
I write the lyrics and sing along. Arash's "Broken Angel" is playing right now. Listen to it too... :)
So how? I wonder what your mood is now? What kind of music do you like today? Write in the comments, I will also listen to the tunes you like.
Now let's try it in a slow cooker
I would also like to offer 2 ways to prepare chicken fillet cutlets in a slow cooker: with the addition of oil and steamed. Which one is best for you and your family?
1 way. Pre-fry the meat balls in oil until golden brown on the frying mode for 7-10 minutes on each side. Add cream or sour cream and turn on the “Stew” mode for 20 minutes so that they are saturated with delicate creamy juice.
Method 2. Place the meat balls in the bowl and turn on the “steam” mode for 25-30 minutes. This way you will preserve the beneficial properties of cheese and herbs and at the same time get unusually tender cutlets.
Oh, I got a little distracted again and wrote about the beneficial properties of cheese... Sorry :)
I think next time you should definitely add a little cheese to the minced meat and make delicious cutlets with cheese. Wondering which cheese would be best? How do you think?..
If you have already tried to cook these juicy and tender cutlets, do not hesitate to share your results in the comments.
Take care of yourself and your health, Olga Dekker.
