Ingredients
- 2 slices good-quality white bread, crusts removed
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 5 tablespoons butter, 3 of them at room temperature
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Method
- Break the bread into pieces.
- In a large bowl, soak the bread in the half-and-half until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Mix in the chicken, egg, salt, pepper, dill and the 3 tablespoons room-temperature butter.
- Put in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.
- Remover the chicken mixture from the freezer; it will still be very soft.
- Form the mixture into four oval cutlets and coat them with the bread crumbs.
- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil over moderate heat.
- Cook the cutlets until golden brown and just done, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Variation for Italian-Style Chicken Cutlets: Omit the dill.
- Use half bread crumbs, half grated Parmesan cheese to coat the cutlets.
