Oven chicken cutlets with mushrooms

4–51 hours 30 minutes

1. Sort the mushrooms, cut them into small pieces. Chop onions into small cubes.
2. Melt and heat butter in a pan. As soon as the oil starts to “shoot”, send the onion into it and bring it to the whitening stage.
3. Add chopped mushrooms and a little salt to the onion. Fry, stirring occasionally, until the mushroom mass loses excess moisture, then remove the pan from the stove.
4. While grilling the filling for the patties, prepare the minced chicken. To begin, soak the loaf in milk. Remove the bread crust, leave only the pulp. Pour milk into a container of suitable volume, where place the loaf for 1-2 minutes.
5. Pass the chicken fillet (breast) through a meat grinder. Remove the bread from the milk and squeeze it slightly using a slotted spoon, then knead it well with a fork.
6. Peel and rub the potatoes on a fine grater, using a slotted spoon (squeezing the potato mass with it), get rid of excess fluid.
7. Combine minced meat, loaf soaked and mashed with a fork, beat egg, grated potatoes. Salt the whole mass, add spices and mix thoroughly. After that, put the minced meat in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes (preferably half an hour), so that all components are “married”. So the people call the fermentation process - a biological reaction between the vegetable and protein ingredients of minced meat.
8. In the meantime, prepare the oven. Turn on the oven (fire or electricity), heat it to + 200 ° С. Grease a frying pan with vegetable oil; do not put it in the oven so that it does not heat up.
9. Stick the meatballs while the oven is heating. Don't be scared by the process: it’s pretty easy to stuff cutlets. Moisten your palms with cold water, take a portion of minced meat with a non-working hand, weighing as much as one regular cutlet. Press the forcemeat with your working hand, making a flat cake in the palm of your hand.
10. Place the mushroom mass in the center of the meat pancake with a dessert or teaspoon. Try to make a small compact lump of mushrooms with onions. Wrap the edges of the meat cake up to the center and connect.
11. Give the cutlet a shape by shifting it several times from palm to palm, folded boat. Then dip one side and then the other side on a flat plate with breadcrumbs. You can add paprika or turmeric to the breading, these spices will add piquancy and a beautiful color.
12. Place the prepared stuffed patties on a greased baking sheet. When you have formed all the cutlets, put the pan in the oven (+ 200 ° C). The total duration of baking is 25-30 minutes. 10 minutes after the start of the procedure, reduce the temperature in the oven to + 180 ° C.

Important! In this recipe, it is better to use a mixture of fillet and other parts of the chicken, as they bake the dish with the smallest amount of oil. If you cook the minced meat exclusively from the breast, the patties will be very dry. This circumstance can be corrected by serving the dish with your favorite sauce. If dietary qualities are most important to you, you can try to cook the dish only from the breast.
