How to cook chopped chicken cutlets with semolina
Wash the chicken fillet well and cut into small cubes. To make it more convenient to do this, first slightly freeze the meat in the freezer. When it is not too soft, it will easily be cut into identical small pieces. To carefully cut the soft fillet, you need a very sharp knife. Transfer the meat slices to a bowl where you will knead the minced meat.
Peel the onion from the husk, wash and cut into small cubes.
Rinse greens under running water, finely chop. Dill and a young green onion are ideal for minced meat. If you like parsley, you can use that too.
Transfer the greens with onions to the meat.
Pour semolina here and beat in an egg (if the eggs are large, then one will be enough; it’s better to take a couple of small ones). Salt, pepper and add other seasonings and spices that you usually put in meat dishes to your liking. At this stage, if desired, you can put 2-3 cloves of finely chopped garlic into the minced meat.
Add sour cream to the total mass, if necessary, you can replace it with mayonnaise.
Mix all the ingredients well, tighten the bowl with cling film and leave it at room conditions for 15-20 minutes so that the semolina swells a little.
Chopped chicken breast cutlets with semolina are fried like pancakes. Heat vegetable oil well in a frying pan. Take a tablespoon of minced meat, put it in a pan and level it. Place a glass of water next to it and dip a spoon in it each time before scooping up the next portion of minced meat.
Fry cutlets on both sides until a delicious golden brown.
Serve ready cutlets with any side dish - pasta, potato dishes, stewed cabbage.
Cooking Tips
- Many housewives add a teaspoon of sugar and mustard to minced meat for piquancy. Try it, it's really delicious.
- Even if you do not respect products such as sour cream and mayonnaise, they must be added to minced meat. In the finished dish, their taste is not felt at all, but the cutlets are juicy.
- If desired, you can diversify the cutlets by adding grated raw carrots, potatoes or zucchini to the minced meat. Grated cheese will give them even more airiness and tenderness.
- Cutlets will be even tastier if you add not raw onions to the minced meat, but fried in oil.
What do we know about meatballs? As a rule, everything converges on one thing - on what our mothers, grandmothers and so on prepared. That is, when it comes to a cutlet, we use the traditional scheme, without doing without a fresh white roll soaked in milk, onions, flour as a breading.

Step-by-step preparation of minced chicken cutlets with semolina - recipe with photo:
There are rarely problems with minced meat - caring hostesses always have it ready. But if you don’t have something ready, it doesn’t matter - there is a store where you can buy minced chicken, or cook it yourself, which is more reliable. Good chicken breast or fillet. It is necessary to cut the meat into pieces convenient for a meat grinder and grind.
Do you have dill and parsley in the fridge? Wonderful! But their introduction to minced meat is a matter of taste and desire. If they are not at hand, do not worry. In a word, rinse the greens and finely chop with a knife.
That's practically all. Knead the cutlet mass by adding semolina, chicken spices indicated in the recipe (or ground pepper), salt lightly, add onion and garlic and beat in the eggs. Stir again and put mayonnaise (or sour cream) in a bowl. If you cut and greens, enter it. After mixing the minced meat, set the bowl aside for half an hour.
As you remember, when preparing minced chicken cutlets with semolina, it is important not to immediately start shaping and frying them. The mass with semolina should stand at rest for this time. When the cereal swells in it, the cutlets will delight you with their incredible splendor and tenderness.
Mayonnaise (or sour cream) is indicated in the recipe. Many people practice adding it when preparing chicken cutlets with semolina. But, as experience shows, cutlets are tasty without it. And therefore, there is only one conclusion: if you want, add mayonnaise, if you don’t want, don’t put it when preparing minced meat for chicken cutlets. If you want to decide once and for all, you can do so. Put mayonnaise or sour cream once, and cook the second without adding them. Choose what is more to your taste. So, if you decide to add, then take 2 tablespoons of sour cream and the same amount of mayonnaise.
Pour vegetable oil into a well-heated frying pan. While it is heating, form the patties as you are used to. If the oil is hot, fry the cutlets on both sides until a golden crust appears. If you want, bread the cutlets in flour (you can also breadcrumbs).
And the fried and beautiful cutlets are ready. But do you like them to be softer? No problem. Reduce the heat, pour a few tablespoons of water into the pan, distributing it evenly over the bottom, and cover the pan with a lid, simmer for a few minutes. After turning off the stove, do not rush to open the lid. Let the cutlets sweat in their own juice!

Cooking chicken cutlets does not require many skills from you, so you can apply all these recipes even as a young housewife who still has little culinary experience.
First, we scroll moderately fatty meat through a meat grinder. A piece of shoulder blade, thigh is perfect. Balyk will be dry even with the addition of lard, and a small piece can be added to the tenderloin. Although it is better to use this part of the carcass not for cutlets, but for gourmet. Salt the crushed mass to taste, do not forget to add water or broth.
Add black ground pepper, dried garlic.
We clean the onion, finely chop it into cubes and add it to the minced meat when raw.
If your family does not like the onion pieces in cutlets, then use a regular grater or meat grinder- so the appetizing aroma and characteristic aftertaste will remain. 
We beat the eggs. Add some aromatic spices.
Mix and beat out minced meat. That is, we “slap” the whole mass several times with force into a bowl until the loose minced meat gathers into a denser lump. Here you need to get used to it so that the meat does not scatter around the kitchen. Now pour semolina.
Mix again (you can knock out slightly) and leave for 20 minutes to soak with spices and salt. And most importantly - the semolina will swell a little during this time.
From the finished minced meat we make round thin cutlets about the size of a palm. We also beat off each cutlet, throwing it from hand to hand. Hands periodically need to be moistened with cold water.
We fry them on both sides over low heat in vegetable oil (we add quite a bit, minced pork will give extra fat). It is necessary to fry correctly - first on a good fire without a lid, so that a dense crust forms on top, then on a slow one, covering the pan with a lid, so that the juicy middle inside is also fried.
We treat relatives and friends with ready-made beautiful and very juicy cutlets. Serve boiled cereals, pasta or pasta as a side dish for meat cutlets. You can just make a vegetable salad with fresh vegetables. Any conservation will also be appropriate.
Also add sauces, absolutely any will do - tomato, creamy, spicy or. 
They are good and cold just with a piece of bread and vegetables.
To make it even more tender and juicy, put the finished cutlets in a pan (it is better to cover with foil), pour 150-200 ml of milk, cover with a lid or foil and simmer in the oven. How much and at what temperature, decide for yourself - at 200 degrees 20 minutes is enough, at 180 you need 30-40 minutes.
