Delicious dietary chicken breast cutlets. Recipe

Beef cutlets with a crispy crust are a classic. But now most people are trying to stick to proper nutrition. And if cutlets are prepared, they use chicken meat, which is considered a dietary product.

Minced chicken meat, especially breast meat, turns out to be a bit dry. To make chicken cutlets juicy, you need to cook them a little differently than beef cutlets. For example, in a double boiler. This method of heat treatment preserves most of the nutrients and vitamins in any product.

Chicken cutlets in a double boiler: cooking details

For cutlets, you can take fillets from any part of the chicken carcass - without bones and skin.
To prevent chicken cutlets from becoming dry and dense, add onions, milk, cream, mayonnaise, sour cream, and kefir to the minced meat. And semolina or a slice of toasted white bread will perfectly absorb excess liquid.
Any minced meat, if it is poorly mixed, will definitely release liquid. Such cutlets will spread during cooking and may also fall apart. Therefore, the minced meat for the cutlets must be thoroughly kneaded and beaten. Then the cutlets will turn out fluffy, soft and juicy.
In addition to the main ingredients, salt, pepper, nutmeg and other spices are added to the minced meat to taste. Chopped mushrooms, pistachios, truffles and even raisins (for sophisticated gourmets) add piquancy to steamed cutlets.
Cutlets can be cooked in a double boiler at the same time as potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower. In this case, the cutlets are placed in the lower bowl, and the chopped vegetables are placed above them. This order is observed so that the juice from raw cutlets does not drip onto the vegetables.
You can serve fluffy rice and buckwheat as a side dish for chicken cutlets. The cereal is washed, poured into a container for sauces (rice) and placed over a bowl of cutlets.
To prevent the cutlets from sticking to the bottom of the bowl, it must be greased with vegetable oil.
Chicken cutlets are cooked in a double boiler for 30 minutes. In order for the boiling to be uniform and not interrupted, it is necessary to monitor the water level in the tank and top it up on time.

How to steam cutlets without oil in a frying pan?

Pork is not a dietary meat, but it is nourishing, juicy and tasty. Steaming in a frying pan is ideal for keeping the dish greasy. You won't need any oil at all.

Everyone knows that the most convenient household appliance for preparing steamed dishes is a steamer. However, remembering the tricks and ingenuity of our mothers and grandmothers, you can completely do without it. How can you steam a dish for a child without a steamer? Yes, very simple!

How can you make a double boiler?

When you don’t have a double boiler at hand, you can make one yourself:

1. Take a deep saucepan and a bowl of the same diameter.

2. Fill the pan with water no more than halfway, tie it tightly with gauze folded in two or three layers.

3. Place the dish on cheesecloth and cover it with a bowl on top as a lid. Inside, the dish will be steamed without a steamer - just as quickly and tasty.

In this simple way, for example, you can prepare tender ones.

Instead of gauze, you can also use a colander or sieve and cover it with a regular pan lid. But in this case, the dishes should be enameled or stainless.

Using these methods, you can steam vegetables, rice, fish, cutlets and much more for your child.

Safety when steaming food without a steamer:

The main rule in the kitchen is that appliances must be convenient, reliable and safe. You must be attentive and careful when preparing dishes in a homemade double boiler:

- the slightest contact of the skin with steam can cause burns - do not put your hands (fingers) inside under the lid, use oven mitts and spatulas,

- when using gauze as a homemade steamer, remember that it can get wet and is also very hot!

- the gauze should be tied tightly, and the ends should be hidden up inside the “steamer”,

— plastic colanders should absolutely not be used for preparing any steamed dishes without a steamer, unless they are marked “for high temperatures,” which is extremely rare.

By the way, a very convenient thing for preparing small amounts of food is a removable folding steamer for a saucepan. It is very similar in meaning to using a colander, but it fits pans of different diameters thanks to the folding petals along the edge. For example, model Vitesse VS-1261 (Margot) from the French brand VITESSE

To start eating right, just one desire is enough. For example, steam cutlets can be cooked in an improvised steamer - an ordinary metal colander, a pan of a suitable size and a lid will suffice. This device, of course, cannot pretend to be a kitchen device, but it will fulfill its purpose perfectly.

The taste of the food will not differ at all from that prepared in an electric steamer, and the beneficial substances in the food will also be preserved. So if you decide to switch to a healthy diet, you have everything you need. Well, as for recipes, try making steamed meat cutlets with vegetables. For juiciness and taste, add sour cream and spices to the minced meat; for brightness, add herbs and carrots. If steamed cutlets are intended for a baby, then it is better to avoid spices and instead add more herbs and vegetables to the minced meat.
