Ingredients
- 800 g (1.75 lb) chicken breast, finely diced
- 80 g (2.8 oz) hard cheese, grated
- 1/2 can (about 150 g / 5 oz) sweet corn, drained
- Fresh dill, chopped, to taste
- 3-4 tbsp flour
- 3 tbsp sour cream or mayonnaise
- 1 egg
- Salt, pepper, garlic, paprika to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Finely dice the chicken breast. Add the cheese, corn, dill, flour, sour cream, egg, and seasonings, and mix thoroughly.
- Spoon the mixture into a hot oiled skillet (about 1 heaped tablespoon per cutlet) and pan-fry 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Serve hot with a fresh salad or mashed potatoes.
Tips
- Dice the chicken as evenly as you can, so the cutlets cook at the same rate and stay juicy.
- Keep the heat at medium, so the outside turns golden while the cheese melts and the center cooks through.
