Method

  1. Slice the chicken1 fillet lengthwise into 2 thin cutlets, cover, and pound to 7–8 mm thick. Season with salt and a little pepper.

  2. Beat the egg with a fork. Dredge the chicken1 in flour, then dip it in the egg.

  3. Heat a skillet with oil over medium heat. Fry the cutlets for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  4. Sprinkle the cutlets with grated cheese, cover with a lid, and cook for 2 minutes until the cheese melts and the chicken1 juices run clear.

  5. Slice the cucumber6 and tomato7, then toss with the dill8 and a pinch of salt. Serve alongside the cutlets.

Tips

Why it works
Отбивай филе до 7–8 мм, так оно прожарится за 6–8 минут и сыр успеет расплавиться без пересушивания мяса.
Substitutions
Твёрдый сыр замени 30–35 г любого сыра, который плавится. Укроп можно заменить петрушкой в том же количестве.
Common mistakes
Частая ошибка: слишком сильный огонь, корочка темнеет за 1–2 минуты, а внутри сок остаётся розовым.
Storing and reheating
Храни отбивные до 2 дней в холодильнике, салат лучше съесть сразу. Разогревай мясо под крышкой на слабом огне 3–4 минуты.
Serve with
Подавай на ужин с отварным картофелем или куском хлеба, если нужен более сытный гарнир.
