How to make chopped chicken cutlets in a slow cooker. Masterpieces of dietary cuisine: steamed chicken cutlets

Cooking:

1. This dish can also be cooked in a regular frying pan, although we advise you to use a slow cooker. In this marvel of technology, the walls and bottom are heated evenly, so fried foods are perfect!
   Rinse the pork well and lay it out in front of you on a kitchen board. Cut the meat with a large sharp knife, cutting it into cubes measuring 1 by 1 cm. Place the pieces of meat in a bowl in which you will form the minced meat for chopped cutlets.
   
   
2. Peel the onion, wash and cut into small cubes. Also send the onion slices to the bowl.
   
   
3. Crack an egg and add it to the mince. Some housewives prepare cutlets with two or three eggs, but in this case, more flour will need to be added to the minced meat (which, of course, will affect the taste of the dish). So we advise you to take only one egg.
   
   
4. Salt and pepper the minced meat, mix it.
   Add flour and mayonnaise to minced meat for chopped cutlets. It is quite possible to do without mayonnaise, but it will add special tenderness to the dish. Minced meat for cutlets is ready! Now you can start frying the dish.
   
   
   
   
5. Pour vegetable oil into the bottom of the multicooker bowl and turn on the multicooker. You will need the "fry" mode and time 40 minutes. If ordinary cutlets are formed in the hands, then chopped ones can be laid out on a fried surface with two spoons. With one spoon, bring the minced meat to the bottom of the multicooker, and with the other, carefully remove the minced meat from the first spoon. Fill the bottom of the slow cooker with the patties and fry the patties on one side for about 10 minutes.
   
   
   
6. Flip the cutlets to the other side and also fry until golden brown. Then transfer the finished cutlets to a plate or bowl and put the next batch of cutlets in the slow cooker so that they are fried. The amount of ingredients described in this recipe is enough for 8-10 cutlets. This is 2 frying cycles in a slow cooker (20 minutes for one batch of cutlets).
   
   
7. Chopped cutlets in a slow cooker are ready! How to cook cutlets in a slow cooker - the recipe is quite simple.

Ingredients:

• chicken meat - 600 gr
• egg - 1 pc.
• sour cream - 2 tbsp.
• potato starch - 2 tbsp.
• French mustard - 2 tsp
• salt, pepper to taste
• olive oil for frying - 1-2 tbsp.

I think I won’t be mistaken if I say that in almost every family cutlets are one of the favorite dishes of home cooking. Did you know that a cutlet used to be a piece of meat on a bone? Then, only in the 20th century, a meat product made from minced meat began to be considered a cutlet. Today, housewives prepare cutlets, following various recipes, which often use minced meat, and it can be not only meat, but also even vegetable. Cutlets are stuffed, fried, baked and steamed.

In my family, chopped chicken cutlets in a slow cooker are very popular. The peculiarity of these cutlets is that they are prepared not from twisted minced meat, but from finely chopped pieces of chicken. Cutlets cooked in this way are very juicy and tender, with a delicious golden brown crust. As a rule, chicken breast is used to make chopped cutlets, but thigh fillets are no worse. Previously, I cooked such cutlets in the usual way, in a pan, but since I got the PHILIPS HD3077/40 multicooker, I trust only her!

Cooking method

1. 
   The first step for me is always the preparation of the necessary products.
2. 
   I cut the chicken fillet into small pieces with a sharp knife.

   Today, in butcher shops, the buyer is offered trimmed meat from the thighs, which is very convenient - it is now that I prefer to buy it for making cutlets, because it is not as lean as chicken breast fillet, which means that the cutlets will turn out more juicy and soft.

3. 
   I spread the chopped fillet in a bowl, salt, pepper, beat in an egg and mix.
4. 
   In the resulting mass, add sour cream with mustard and knead well with a spoon.
5. 
   The starch remains - it will give the “minced meat” density and connect all the ingredients together.

   Many cooks add onions and garlic, but I do without them. Now I send the meat preparation prepared in this way for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator so that the fillet is marinated. You can withstand longer, it is very convenient to prepare in the evening, and quickly fry in the morning.

6. 
   Taking the “minced meat” out of the refrigerator, mix again. I cook chopped cutlets in a slow cooker in the “fry” mode. I preheat the bowl thoroughly, pour in the olive oil and spoon the mass into the bowl with a spoon.
7. 
   Once one side is browned, carefully flip over and fry the other side.

   It takes 5-7 minutes on each side to ensure that the cutlets are fried properly.

8. 
   And here it is the indisputable advantage of the multi-helper - you need much less oil for frying than just using a frying pan to fry all the cutlets, it took me 2 tablespoons of oil. From this amount of products, I got 12 delicious fried chicken cutlets in a slow cooker.
9. 
   Everything, juicy and tasty chopped chicken cutlets in a slow cooker are ready, you can serve it to the table. Surprisingly, they go great with any side dish, and a serving of fresh vegetables to complement everything is a must.

It turns out very tasty if, after frying, the cutlets are stewed quite a bit in sour cream - this is how I cook them for my daughter, and I myself eat them with pleasure. I also do this in a slow cooker.

The period of fast food, grilled chicken began to decline, and many people thought about proper nutrition. Chicken meat is the best suited for those who have excluded fatty, high-calorie foods from their diet. Cutlets were also included in this list of prohibited foods - because of their appetizing, fried (but so harmful) crust.

Although cutlets can be useful if steamed. Then they will not contain carcinogenic substances that appear during the frying process. There are few calories in such cutlets, since chicken fillet without skin and subcutaneous fat is used for minced meat. Thanks to gentle heat treatment, almost all useful substances are preserved in the meat.

Steamed cutlets can be cooked in a double boiler and in a slow cooker.

Subtleties of cooking

• Chicken mince is better to cook on your own. So that it does not turn out liquid, the chicken fillet must be blotted with a paper towel before scrolling through a meat grinder.
• To improve the taste, onion, garlic and various spices are added to minced meat. In addition to the main ingredients, potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables are put in it. So that the cutlets do not turn out pale due to the white meat of the chicken, you can put diced carrots, bell peppers, and greens in the minced meat.
• Onion, passed through a meat grinder, makes minced meat liquid. Therefore, it is better to cut it by hand or use a blender, turning on the device for only a few seconds.
• An egg and bread soaked in milk (water) also make the minced meat liquid. To prevent this from happening, the semi-finished product must be thoroughly kneaded. Then the meat absorbs almost all the liquid and the minced meat becomes denser.
• Adding semolina helps to make minced chicken thicker. For a pound of ground meat, you need to put one tablespoon of semolina, let it swell, and only then proceed to cutting cutlets.
• Steamed cutlets do not need breading. Since the minced meat turns out to be viscous and sticks to the hands, cutlets are formed with hands moistened in cold water and laid out in a steaming container greased with vegetable oil.
• Steam cutlets are cooked for 25-40 minutes, depending on the power of the multicooker. The mode is set to "Steaming". To speed up the process, only hot water should be poured into the bowl. Of course, it should not be too much so that during the boil it does not reach the bottom of the container with cutlets.

Cutlets according to this recipe have many names - Viennese cutlets, minester cutlets, royal cutlets. Yes, and there are also many cooking technologies - some add semolina to the "minced meat", others - wheat flour. I am familiar with this dish called Albanian cutlets, and I use potato starch to make them. Cutlets are very juicy and tender, and due to the fact that chicken meat is marinated, they are fried almost instantly. A feature is not only additives in the form of starch, but also the technology for preparing minced meat. The fact is that the meat does not scroll in a meat grinder, as we are all used to, but is cut into small pieces. Be sure to cook these chopped chicken cutlets in a slow cooker, thanks to this miracle saucepan they will come out even tastier!

Ingredients:

• chicken breast - 400 g

• mustard - 1 tsp (more if desired)
• potato starch - 3 tbsp.
• garlic - 2 cloves
• chicken egg - 1 pc.
• nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste
• vegetable oil - 3 tbsp.

• number of servings - 3-4 pieces

How to cook chicken cutlets in a slow cooker:

We wash the chicken breast under running water, cut it into cube-shaped pieces, about 1 cm by 1 cm. This is the most time-consuming stage in the preparation of Albanian cutlets.

Put the meat pieces in a deep bowl. We drive in a chicken egg there and add the rest of the ingredients of the dish - starch, chopped garlic, mayonnaise and mustard. Salt and pepper the "minced meat", sprinkle with ground nutmeg. Mix until a homogeneous mass is obtained. We send the “minced meat” to the refrigerator for 2 hours, and, if possible, it is better at night. During this time, the meat will be well marinated, and our cutlets will become even more tender.

At the end of the time, we take out the mass from the refrigerator. Pour vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl and set the “frying / stewing” mode. Wait for the multicooker to work for a couple of minutes so that the oil warms up properly.

Spread the meat mass with a tablespoon, like pancakes, because the “minced meat” is relatively liquid. Fry on each side for 7-10 minutes, depending on the power of your slow cooker.

Chopped chicken cutlets, steamed in a slow cooker, are more appetizing and juicy than those prepared from minced meat ground in a meat grinder in the traditional way in a pan.

Cooking chopped meatballs for a couple

1. Finely chop the filleted chicken breast and onion with a knife.

2. Soak slices of white bread in warm milk for 7-10 minutes. I often use powdered milk instead of whole milk, and sometimes I use infant formula. Then the cutlets become more fragrant and juicy.

3. Mash the bread in milk until smooth.

4. Mix chopped fillet, finely chopped onion, gruel from white bread soaked in milk and eggs. Season everything with salt.

5. Thoroughly knead the resulting chicken mass. The ease of formation of cutlets and the juiciness of the finished dish depend on the degree of mixing of minced meat.

6. Pour 800 - 900 ml of water into the bowl of your multicooker and prepare the steam rack

7. Shape the patties into round shapes and place them on the steam rack

8. Set the cooking mode of the multicooker to "Steam / Boil" with a cooking time of 40 minutes.
