Try princely chicken cutlets for juicy flavor perfection
Many people prefer chicken cutlets over traditional pork cutlets. However, after frying, they often don't fully meet the family's expectations. Unfortunately, poultry fillets tend to be dry without any additives. An alternative to classic strips is the princely cutlet, which is tender and flavorful.
This simple dish is a variation on minced cutlets. Before frying them in a pan, set the meat aside in the refrigerator, then coat it in a simple breading. They will turn golden and crispy. In this form, they are perfect as a party snack for dipping in colorful sauces.
From simple cutlets to a snack full of nutritional value
You can prepare minced chicken cutlets in many different versions, such as with pieces of bell pepper, broccoli, mushrooms, or canned corn. If you prefer them not fried, put them in the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, flip them over with a spatula, and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
Another idea for a chicken snack is waffles from Leszek Klimas' recipe. The 2019 World Athletic Physique Champion makes them without flour and additional fat. His chicken waffles are a great idea for a child's school breakfast.
