Method for cooking aromatic chicken cutlets in a multicooker for steam

Chicken breast is an extremely useful product for us, due to the almost complete absence of fat and the maximum protein content, it dominates among dietary dishes.

In fact, any recipe for cooking meat can be safely replaced with it - and this will not make the taste of food worse, but it will add useful properties.

Today we will show. Chicken cutlets will be steamed, which means that such a dish can be treated without fear to both small children and people with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - steam cutlets will literally melt in your mouth.

They can be served with any side dish - it can be rice or mashed potatoes. And when cooking, you can put not only formed products, but also pieces of vegetables in a steaming bowl.

In order to cook diet cutlets, you will need the following products:

• Chicken fillet - 400-500 grams (or 1 chicken breast).
• Onions - 1 piece.
• Milk - half a glass.
• White bread - 4-5 pieces.
• Chicken egg - 1 piece.
• Salt, spices optional.

From the specified number of ingredients, 14 cutlets will be obtained.

One serving of minced chicken cutlets will have 150 calories. Not bad, considering that this is almost pure protein - what a growing body or a man who is tired from work needs! Moreover, the cutlets are dietary, without a drop of oil and fat.

Photo recipe for cooking minced chicken cutlets in front of you.

If we use breast, we first separate the meat from the bones, cut off the films and fat, as shown in the photo.

Wash the chicken fillet under cold water, let it dry on a disposable or cotton towel. The more carefully you take this process, the less watery your products will be.

Then, using a meat grinder or blender, we turn the meat into a pile of minced meat. To make the steamed chicken cutlets in a slow cooker taste more tender, you can grind the chicken twice.

Step 2

Cut off all the crusts from white bread, pour milk and knead the resulting mass with your fingers until smooth. It should resemble a liquid porridge.

We leave it like this for 5 minutes.

Now we will slightly squeeze it out so that the excess liquid is glass. Do you want chicken cutlets in a slow cooker to be completely dietary? Then white bread can be replaced with oat or buckwheat flour, or you can do without them altogether by adding pre-boiled buckwheat or rice to the minced meat - depending on which cereal you prefer.

Step 3

It is best to grate onions so that individual onion pieces do not come across in food - few people will like such an unexpected guest in the most delicate soft cutlet!

Optionally, you can finely chop the onion and lightly fry in a pan with the addition of a drop of vegetable oil. To make it easier to distribute it, use a special silicone brush or disposable towel.

Now we combine the minced meat, grated onion, and soaked bread.

Drive in one egg and add salt and seasonings to taste. For chicken, turmeric, curry, garlic, rosemary, oregano are ideal. Or you can use ready-made seasonings for the bird.

We knead the mass with our hands, or you can use the services of a meat grinder to get a homogeneous mass, without unnecessary inclusions.

On a note: in order for dietary chicken to acquire bright colors, it is recommended to add a little fresh, finely chopped greens to the minced meat. And also, if you want something juicier, you can change the recipe and add grated cheese to the minced meat (a little, 100-150 grams).

Step 4

We form diet cutlets with wet hands, putting them directly into a container for steaming.

The recipe is, of course, very simple to implement, so you have every right to embellish it. For example, in an already formed minced meat cutlet, you can put a piece of cheese or ham. True, in this case they will no longer be dietary.

Open the multicooker bowl, pour about 1 glass of water. Set a bowl with cutlets on top, and select the "Steam cooking" mode on the multicooker display. Our steamed chicken cutlets will be cooked in a slow cooker for 25-30 minutes.

On a note: you can also prepare a side dish for cutlets - just pour 1 multi-glass of washed rice into the multicooker bowl, and fill it with hot water so that it covers about one phalanx of your finger. Thus, in half an hour you will get two dishes - steamed chicken cutlets in a slow cooker and aromatic crumbly rice to them.

We hope you appreciated our recipe for making a healthy minced chicken dinner.
