How to make chopped chicken cutlets with starch

Chopped chicken cutlets

There are two stages of cooking: marinating the minced meat and frying the cutlets.

The cutlets are fried quickly - chicken breast in this sense is very convenient - it practically never gets raw when frying, but the onions often “crunch” in the cutlets, so it needs to be marinated along with the minced meat (for this we add vinegar and mustard according to the recipe).

Vegetable oil acts as a “softener” for dry chicken breast; if it were not there, vinegar would make the fillet fibers, devoid of fat, tough, and so it interacts with the oil.

You can marinate the minced meat from 2 hours to a day; it is convenient to marinate the cutlets in the evening and fry them for dinner the next evening.

Ingredients:

For 5-6 people (about 20 pcs)

• 3 chicken breasts (750 g)
• 250g onions
• 2 raw eggs
• 3 tbsp. flour
• 1 tbsp. vinegar 9%
• 1 tsp with a little top of salt
• 1 tsp mustard
• 0.4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp. refined vegetable oil (for marinating meat)
• about 8 tbsp. refined vegetable oil (for frying)

Recipe:

1. Finely chop the onion. It is very convenient to cut it on a shredder.
2. Wash the chicken fillet, cut off any remaining bones, veins and fat. Cut the chicken breasts into 1 cm cubes; to do this, cut the fillets in half lengthwise, then each half lengthwise into strips and crosswise into cubes.
3. Combine meat and onion.
4. Add 2 tbsp. oil and 1 tsp. mustard.
5. Add 1 tsp. with a little top of salt and 1 tbsp. vinegar. Spice up.
6. Mix well.
7. Cover with a lid and put in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours; it’s convenient to marinate in the evening to fry the cutlets tomorrow.
8. Add eggs and flour to the marinated minced meat.
9. Mix well. You will get a viscous mass.
10. Heat a frying pan thoroughly with 2-3 tbsp. vegetable oil. Scoop the minced chicken with a tablespoon and place it in a hot frying pan. Fry over medium heat without a lid for 2-3 minutes on one side.
11. Turn the cutlets over and cook for a couple more minutes on the other side until browned. Fry without a lid.

How to replace starch in cutlets?

First, it’s worth figuring out why you need to add this ingredient to the minced meat. The fact is that minced chicken has a liquid consistency and will spread in a frying pan, like pancake batter. To prevent this from happening, you need to connect all the components of the minced meat together. Chicken cutlets with starch do not spread or smear, because starch is a natural glue that perfectly binds fibers together.

Starch is also added to regular meat cutlets to make them fluffy, fried, but juicy. How can you replace starch if you simply don’t have it at home, but the minced cutlet is already ready?

An excellent binding product is a chicken egg. If you can only add eggs to regular meat, then you need to add flour to the minced chicken so that the cutlets do not spread.

In addition to flour and eggs, you can add breadcrumbs or white bread crumbs to the minced meat. Thanks to this, the cutlets will turn out fluffy, they will be easy to mold, and they will not spread in the pan.

Next, we suggest considering recipes for minced meat cutlets, which are perfect for a children's menu. Then you can learn how to prepare chopped chicken cutlets with starch.

The benefits of adding starch to cutlets

Starch, like cement, serves as a binding component for all ingredients in cutlets and “takes away” excess moisture. It is often used instead of eggs.

Suitable for both meatballs, which will be cooked in a slow cooker and oven, and for cutlets in a frying pan.

1. Cutlets with starch keep their shape well. They will not fall apart during cooking.
2. Starch does not “weight” the minced meat like eggs. By soaking, it expands the fibers of the meat. The cutlets are more airy.
3. The dish will stay fresh longer.

Interesting! Potato starch is commonly used in cooking. But potatoes were brought to Russia by Peter the Great only at the beginning of the 18th century. Before this, starch was obtained from oats, rye or barley and made into jelly and jellies.
