If zucchini is already mature, you need to peel the peel from it - they are too rough and will spoil the taste. Young specimens will be enough to wash and trim the tails and "asses."

Whichever recipe for chicken and courgette cutlets from the below-mentioned you choose, with vegetables everywhere they do the same: tinder on a grater. Small or larger - choose yourself.

Meat pancakes in a frying pan

The most common way for us to cook cutlets is to fry them. Basic approaches are standard. Through a meat grinder 400 grams of chicken fillet are skipped. To it is added grated and pressed vegetable, two eggs are hammered. The mass is greased, peppered and flavored with a quarter cup of flour. The stuffing is well stirred; It turns out thick, but not dense. Therefore, cutlets from courgettes and chicken are not stuck, but laid out on a hot frying pan with butter and a spoon. They fry for about four minutes from the top and bottom, with the lid on.

By the way, if you like a more pronounced taste, you can not cut the fillet with a meat grinder, but as much as possible chop. Then the zucchini rubs large, and the cutlets are chopped - a very different taste!

Cheese does not hurt

Even more tempting and tasty are cutlets from chicken fillet and zucchini, if you add some more ingredients to them. A pound of meat is finely-finely chopped, just as sweet pepper is prepared (a quarter of a kilogram). Zucchini rubs; It should be taken in equal quantities with pepper. A 200-gram piece of hard cheese is also rubbed. All components are combined and supplemented with egg and flour. Depending on the sputum, it will go from half a glass to full. Salt and pepper, as always, to taste. The minced meat is kneaded almost like a dough, it is made of cutlets and fried for three minutes on each side. Then the frying pan is covered, the gas is screwed, and cutlets from zucchini and chicken are brought to mind for another five minutes. If desired, at the time of longing, you can add to them a favorite sauce - tomato or sour cream.
