How to make juicy chicken breast patties with cheese? Take the following foods: chicken breast, hard cheese, egg, mayonnaise, starch (or flour), salt, turmeric (or your favorite seasoning), frying oil.

Remove the fillet from the chicken breast and cut it into a small cube. This is the most time-consuming process in this recipe, but believe me, minced meat prepared in this way gives exactly those juicy cutlets! I learned this trick a long time ago, her familiar cook told me, when the Internet had just appeared, and the recipe was not widely known.

Add the remaining ingredients to the chopped breast: egg, grated on a fine grater, hard cheese, starch, mayonnaise, turmeric. Salt the mixture. Sometimes I like to add finely chopped sweet peppers, it turns out even more juicy and savoury. This is optional - a basic recipe is offered.

Mix the resulting minced meat well and let it stand a little so that all the components exchange their aromas and better connect to each other.

In a pan of preheated butter, fry the cutlets on both sides, spoon them.

Put the resulting cutlets on a dish. There are two ways to bring them to readiness: put all the fried cutlets back in the pan, add some water and steam them under the lid until tender, in which case they will become more fluffy by boiling starch.

The second way is to fry longer on each side over a medium heat so that the chicken is well cooked. The first way is more gentle for health. especially if cooking for children or the elderly.
