How to cook chicken meatballs. Chicken bits. Tender chicken cutlets with cheese

Nowadays, meatballs have lost their relevance and have become more like ordinary cutlets. Initially, they were formed from a whole round piece of meat, which was well beaten before frying, but cooking, like all progress, does not stand still. As soon as the opportunity arose to process meat into minced meat, they immediately took advantage of this and began to make meatballs in the form of round breaded cutlets. They are prepared very simply, quickly and always turn out very tender, juicy and appetizing. Chicken meatballs can be served for lunch or dinner with any side dish.

Ingredients:

  • 500 g chicken breast fillet
  • 500 g chicken thigh fillet
  • 1 - 2 onions
  • breadcrumbs
  • salt, pepper to taste

Cooking method

Grind the chicken meat in a meat grinder or food processor along with the onion, add salt, pepper and mix well until smooth, lightly beating the minced meat on a bowl or tossing it from hand to hand. Then we form small balls in the form of round cutlets, thoroughly bread them in breadcrumbs and fry on both sides in a preheated frying pan in vegetable oil. Cook them over low heat until golden brown, one side without a lid, and then turn them over and cover. Usually chicken balls reach full readiness without additional stewing, but if you want, pour about 50 ml of hot water into the frying pan and simmer for another 20-25 minutes until the liquid evaporates. Bon appetit.

There are products from which you can prepare dishes very easily and quickly. Chicken fillet and breast are just such products. In addition, chicken dishes are distinguished by their delicate and delicate taste. We offer you several simple and very tasty recipes for chicken meatballs.

Chicken meatballs: recipe one

Required ingredients:

A little flour;

Salt (to taste);

Vegetable oil.

How are these chicken meatballs prepared? If you took frozen fillets, you must first defrost them. It’s good if you have time to wait until the fillet gradually defrosts itself. It is not advisable to defrost fillets under water, because the meat will lose many nutrients.

When the meat has thawed, cut it into pieces and beat it with a hammer on both sides. Salt each piece, add a little pepper and lightly season with spices. Next, dip the chops into the beaten egg and then into the flour. After this, place the chops in a heated frying pan with sunflower oil.

When the chops are well cooked on both sides, place them on a baking sheet. Grate the cheese. Open the pineapples and drain all the juice from the jar. Take a piece of pineapple and place it on the meatball, and sprinkle cheese on top.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for five to ten minutes. If the cheese has melted, it means the meatballs are ready.

The meatballs prepared according to this recipe are slightly reminiscent of the famous “Kiev cutlet”, only made from chicken.

Of course, almost everyone knows how to cook chops, including chicken, and there is hardly a dish that would be simpler and tastier than this kind of meat, but not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. Remember, have you ever eaten chops that didn’t taste good? We are sure that at least once such an unfortunate incident has happened to everyone. And, most likely, this was not an accident, because, like any other dish, chicken balls and their recipe can also be ruined. And in order to prevent such annoying misunderstandings from happening to you again, KhozOboz offers today’s review. We will talk about how to properly prepare chicken fillet chops for frying, what is best to fry them on, what to use as a breading: lizone, crackers or oatmeal, how much they should be fried and at what heat. And, of course, we will not ignore the history of the dish, without which the story would be incomplete.

History of chicken balls

Let's start, according to tradition, with history. And, first of all, we note that the main product, already based on the name of our dish, is a chicken breast chop. And meat, as you know, was held in high esteem at all times, and its history as a main product in the human diet begins long before the advent of bread. Even during the times of the primitive communal system, people fed themselves by hunting and gathering. It is the cooking of meat over a fire that can be called the first culinary achievement of mankind. And today this recipe is not only not forgotten, but is also held in high esteem; it is constantly being improved, acquiring new traditions and additional ingredients. Since those ancient times, many new things have appeared, which has greatly diversified the traditions of meat-eating.

Moreover, those who are not a supporter of the so-called “red” meat have chosen an alternative that is no less tasty, but therefore safer for their figure and health - poultry. Basically, of course, we are talking about chicken and turkey. In addition, serving and cooking methods have greatly diversified: side dishes, interesting and tasty sauces have appeared, different degrees of frying, and many others. However, the most important thing among all this fuss, in our case, is still delicious chicken breast chops and we will prepare them today, but a little later. First, we’ll find out who, where and when came up with the recipe for chicken and other chops.

Turning to history, first of all, we note that chicken breast chops are historically called schnitzel and they can not only be placed in the same section with similar meat delicacies, but also partially identified because, by definition, schnitzel is a layer of meat, pork, chicken, lamb or other, breaded in breadcrumbs or lezone, fried in hot vegetable oil. However, despite such phenomenal similarity, chicken chops and their recipe still have some differences from the schnitzel we are already familiar with.

What is the difference between a chop and a schnitzel?

  • firstly, the name itself suggests that such meat must certainly be beaten using a special hammer. It is important to understand that the taste of the dish will partially depend on the ability to correctly and competently beat the meat. For example, chicken chops and their recipe require beating the meat through a plastic bag or cling film so that the tender breast is not damaged;
  • secondly, the recipe for chicken and other chops insists that they should be cooked only in a frying pan and only using frying. But schnitzel, for example, besides frying, can also be grilled or deep-fried;

Now that we understand how chicken and any other chops differ from other methods of cooking meat, we can move on to its features and subtleties, which it is very advisable not to ignore:

  • If you are planning to cook chicken chop fillet, you should choose only chilled breast, not frozen. This way the balls will be much tastier and juicier;
  • Above, we have already drawn your attention to the fact that you should beat the meat using a bag or film. Let us also add that the thickness of the chicken chops should be as in the photo, not too thin, otherwise they will become dry;
  • For breading, it is good to use not a simple lezon, but, for example, homemade croutons from different types of bread or sesame seeds;
  • The chicken chop recipe insists that it must be cooked only in a hot frying pan, and you can add the meat only when the oil is hot enough and sizzling. This way, the batter will immediately stick and the juice will remain inside the meat, otherwise, all the flavor will be lost and will simply spread over the frying pan;
  • Eggs for breading must be beaten more thoroughly, otherwise an omelette will simply form on the pieces of meat, and not a leison, as in the recipe;
  • First, fry the balls over medium heat on one side, and when they are browned, simply turn them over, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat. Leave the chicken fillet chops covered over low heat for 3 minutes, as required by the recipe;
  • Chicken breasts, which will certainly turn out just like in the photo, should only be served hot with a side dish of fresh vegetables or a tasty sauce.

Today we will offer you the simplest, so-called democratic recipe for chicken chops and the entire cooking process, according to tradition, with photos.

There are tons of minced meat products, and not only the types of dishes vary, but also their ingredient sets and processing methods. The most popular dish made from twisted fillet is, of course, the cutlet, or its closest relatives are chicken tenders, the recipe and composition of which are almost identical. But if, according to the recipe, these are the same thing, then it remains unclear why these dishes have different names, and to find out, you need to learn as much as possible about the cue balls.

What are meatballs and how do they differ from cutlets?

In the modern concept, a cutlet is a thick oval meat flatbread made from minced meat, onions, bread, eggs and spices. However, until the 19th century in France, where this dish was invented, cutlet meant a piece of the most tender cut of beef on the bone, mainly rib, less often femur. Over time, the bone from the cutlet disappeared, and subsequently the expensive cutlet meat was replaced with cheaper minced meat.

As for the meatballs, they also came to us from France and in their original form were nothing more than chops.

They prepared meatballs from expensive round tenderloin and called this dish medallions. The name “bitochki” was given to medallions in Russia based on the method of its preparation – beating with a hammer. However, not always and not everyone could afford to use expensive tenderloin to prepare French delicacies and chopped round medallions became the first prototype of modern meatballs.

As you can see, the history of the formation of both dishes is almost the same, as is the recipe for preparing minced meat for them. But there are still differences between cutlets and meatballs:

  1. The balls are round and plump, the cutlets are flat and oval.
  2. Bits are often cooked in the oven in sauce, while cutlets are simply fried in a frying pan.

How to cook minced chicken balls

Each dish has its own proportions of ingredients, subject to which we can count on a very tasty treat. There are also unspoken rules regarding minced meat for meatballs.

  1. The amount of bread in minced meat should not exceed 20 percent of the total volume of meat. Thus, for half a kilo of chicken you can add 100 g of bread crumb. Besides, any kind of bread won’t fit into the meatballs. The best choice is yesterday's wheat bread, soaked not in milk or cream, but in plain warm water.
  2. Onion is the guarantor of the juiciness and aroma of the meatballs, and its volume in the minced meat should not be less than ¼ of the weight of the meat. That is, for the same 500 g of chicken fillet you need to take at least 125 g of onion, namely one medium onion for 1 chicken breast. And don’t rush to grind the tearful vegetable in a meat grinder, blender or vegetable cutter; you also don’t need to grate it. Only finely chopped onion can transfer all its valuable juices to dry chicken meat.
  3. You can replace the bread in minced meat with other dietary ingredients, for example, zucchini or potatoes. It is best to grate vegetables on a coarse grater rather than grind them together with minced meat. In addition, when working with zucchini, after grinding the vegetable pulp, it should be sprinkled with a pinch of salt and left for 10-15 minutes to separate the excess juice, which must be squeezed out of the pulp and drained. The abundance of water in minced meat can disrupt its adhesive qualities and such meatballs will simply fall apart during baking or frying.
  4. Eggs are an integral part of minced meat for meatballs. For a half-kilogram breast, just one poultry product is enough. But don’t rush to beat it straight into the cutlet mixture, but before that, beat it thoroughly with a pinch of salt until it reaches maximum foam, and then carefully mix it into the already prepared minced meat. This simple move will give the cue balls a fluffy and airy texture.

If you want to learn all the culinary secrets of delicious cutlets, then this article will be useful to you:

How and how long to fry chicken tenders

To make the meatballs juicy and fluffy, you need to fry them in three stages.

  1. Roll the formed cutlets in breading and place in a frying pan with oil, heated over maximum heat. Fry the balls for 2-3 minutes until a golden, dense crust appears.
  2. After that, turn them over to the other side, immediately reduce the heat to the very minimum and cover the container with a lid. In this simmering mode, chicken meatballs should cook for 15-20 minutes.
  3. After a quarter of an hour, turn the heat back up to medium and give the cue balls a golden, crispy appearance.

If you intend to use other kitchen gadgets to prepare meatballs, then:

  1. In the multicooker, set the “frying” or “baking” mode and the timer for 25-30 minutes. First, fry for 12-15 minutes on one side, then the same amount of time on the other side.
  2. In a steamer, chicken fillet balls will be ready in 20 minutes.
  3. A microwave oven for cooking cue balls will only take you 5-7 minutes at maximum power.
  4. Baking chicken balls in the oven at 185 degrees will take 20-25 minutes.
  5. The air fryer will bake chicken tenders in just 15 minutes.

If you plan to cook the cutlets in sauce, then first fry the cutlets over high heat on both sides for 2 minutes on each until a dense layer forms, and then:

  1. Reduce the heating intensity of the burner by three times, pour the sauce over the cue balls and simmer them under the lid for 15-20 minutes.
  2. If you plan to bake the meatballs in sauce, then after frying they should be transferred to a heat-resistant container, poured with sauce and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes, where the meatballs will be baked at 170-200 degrees.
  3. If you are preparing meatballs in a multicooker, then leave the meatballs fried in the “baking” or “frying” mode in the bowl of the unit, pour in the pre-prepared sauce and simmer them under the lid in the “stewing” mode for 30-40 minutes.

How many calories are in a chicken piece?

The energy value of cue balls directly depends on their composition and cooking method.

  • A cue ball prepared according to the classic recipe, with the addition of bakery crumb to the minced meat, will have a calorie content of around 150 kcal.
  • If you replace the bread with zucchini, and leave the recipe the same: 500 g of chicken breast, 100 g of onion, one egg and 200 g of zucchini mass, then the calorie content of a 100 gram serving of such balls will not exceed 98 kcal.
  • With potatoes, chicken meatballs will have a calorie content of 105 kcal, which is not so much.

If you intend to fry the balls, then, of course, the energy value of the products will increase by about 20-30 kcal.

How to cook chicken fillet meatballs

Making cue balls

  1. Rinse the breasts, dry them, cut them into large cubes and place them in a blender along with 1 egg, salt and spices. Grind the meat until it has a uniform texture.
  2. Now you need to coarsely grate the zucchini, add some salt to it and let it sit for 10 minutes so that it releases the juice. And after the specified time, we burn off the excess water and combine the vegetable with the minced meat.
  3. Chop the onion head very thinly and into small cubes, then sprinkle with a tiny pinch of salt and mash the onion a little so that it releases the juice. After this, mix the onion with the minced meat.
  4. Beat the remaining egg white with a mixer until stiff peaks form and then carefully mix the protein foam with the main cutlet mixture with a spoon, trying not to disturb its airiness.
  5. We form small balls from the finished minced meat.

Making the sauce

  1. With a small amount of oil, fry a very finely chopped half of an onion in a frying pan until transparent, and then pour it with tomato juice. Mix everything and cook until boiling.
  2. Now, in a separate cup, combine the starch with ¼ cup of water and add the resulting suspension in a thin stream to the sauce, actively whisking it with a whisk so that no lumps form. We also add salt and pepper to the sauce at this stage.
  3. Over low heat, cook the gravy until it thickens and just before turning it off, add the grated garlic.

Final stage

  1. The meatballs need to be baked in two stages at a temperature of 190 degrees. To begin, place the cutlets in a fireproof pan greased with a thin layer of oil and place in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  2. When the cue balls are baked and covered with a delicious tan. Remove the pan from the oven and pour the sauce over the meatballs, then return them to the oven for another 15 minutes.

As you can see, this dish is quite quick to prepare. If you act rationally, then within 40 minutes juicy, tasty chicken tenders and aromatic gravy for the side dish will be smoking on the table and captivating with their aroma.

You can prepare meatballs at home with other original gravies and additives.
