To make the meat easier to cut and not turn into porridge (it is important to remember here that we will have to cut it finely), you can freeze it a little. Depending on the size of the meat or pieces, you need to put it in the freezer for 10-30 minutes.
To obtain original dish To your table, you can add cheese, mushrooms, various herbs, spices and even nuts to the minced meat. You can choose any greenery you like: mint, rosemary, tarragon, basil, parsley, etc.
For juiciness, you can put a slice of butter on each finished meat product. Because of high temperature it will melt, soaking the cutlets. The result may pleasantly surprise you.
To make the cutlets with a slight hint of smokedness, you can add a little smoked lard to the minced meat. It also needs to be crushed as much as possible so that nothing falls apart when frying.

In the video you can see how to properly make minced meat and fry cutlets minister-style:
There are many dishes that are from everyday food common people turned into haute cuisine. But there are many counter-examples.
Take the same Olivier salad or Ministerial cutlets.
The latter, by the way, are often mistakenly believed to be a variety "The Kiev's cutlets", or they are simply confused. Yes, and they don’t cook anything under this name. But we, perhaps, will try to bring everything to a common denominator.
So let's agree that:
1. “Ministerial cutlets” are prepared from minced chicken fillet, but the minced meat must be cut into thin, short strips across the grain. As a last resort, cut into small cubes with a knife, but not from scrolling in a meat grinder.
2. For binding meat so that minced meat can be formed into cutlets, they do not use bread crumb or even flour, but starch. And an egg.
We will proceed from what we take one medium weight fillet (300 grams)
Classic recipe.
Chicken cut the fillet across the meat fibers into thin slices ( from 2 to 4 mm) no more than a centimeter wide, up to a couple of centimeters long.
Add salt and spices to the minced meat (I would limit myself to white and pink pepper and grated nutmeg on the tip of a knife, but you can add a little white wine or wine vinegar), and also a good spoonful of butter and mix it thoroughly, while lightly whisking with a spoon or spatula.
Separate the whites, add a pinch of salt to them (so that the foam rises better) and also beat, with a whisk or in a mixer. Until foam forms, although not necessarily as thick as, for example, for meringue. Carefully introduce them into the minced meat.
Put two tablespoons of starch into the minced meat. It is better to use corn, it does not affect the taste at all and, unlike potato, does not give the dish a grayish tint. However, this is barely noticeable and for me, potato starch is no worse.
We form the cutlets with our hands, and dip them in leison from the remaining yolks, mixed with cold water, breaded in breadcrumbs.
In specially prepared breadcrumbs from dried thinly sliced pieces of loaf crumb. This breading is perhaps the main thing(along with adding butter to the minced meat) the secret of the dish. And in general, similar breadings enhance both taste and appearance, so we’ll take a few words to tell you how to prepare them.
Take a loaf, roll or White bread. Not the freshest, better than yesterday or the day before yesterday. Cut into standard pieces, trim off the crust. We cut the crumb into plates or bars as thin as possible. Pour it all into a baking tray and put it in a warm oven (80-120 degrees), dry it until it turns into crispy crackers
You can also use black bread, or add black to white.
You can add flavor in advance by lightly sprinkling the croutons that are already in good condition with flavored oil or simply sprinkling them with salt, pepper or a mixture of dry spices and herbs.
These are the breadcrumbs that we bread our cutlets with. Evenly, in one layer. They often resort to literally gluing the crackers one at a time.
Pour in enough oil to cover the cutlets halfway when frying.
Fry the cutlets in hot oil over medium heat on both sides until the crackers are golden brown. Remove to a napkin to remove excess oil.
Ideally, the cutlet should be very juicy and tender on the inside and soulfully crispy on the outside.
Ministerial schnitzel.
To close the topic, let’s talk about this dish, which is similar in essence. The only difference here is that it is not minced meat that is used, but large pieces of fillet.
Cut several thin slices from the fillet and beat them a little.
Grease one side like a sandwich butter with garlic or herbs, fold this side inward into an envelope or just double it.
A modern recipe that speeds up and simplifies preparation.
Cut the fillet into 1 cm cubes. Quite It is allowed to use meat cut from the legs.
I prepared these cutlets according to Olga Syutkina’s recipe from her book “Kitchen of Family Happiness” and it is impossible to describe them better than Olga herself did: “How children love this dish! And they are absolutely right, an excellent option: from a dry, inexpressive chicken breast you get juicy, soft, dietary cutlets. And in terms of labor costs, it’s simply incomparable to anything; it’s prepared, as they say, “once or twice.”
I really, really liked these cutlets, but they have one thing small advantage: Minced meat can be prepared in advance and fried as needed. I reduced the amount of ingredients by half, but I will give it to you as indicated in the recipe.
For about 10-12 cutlets:
- 2 chicken breasts (4 fillets)
- 2 tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. starch
- 2 tbsp. ghee or butter
- 1 egg
- salt, pepper to taste
Wash and dry the fillet, cut it into strips.
Beat an egg into a bowl with meat, add starch, mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
The mixture must be thoroughly mixed with a fork and refrigerated for 2 hours.
After two hours or later, heat a frying pan with oil. Remove the minced meat from the refrigerator and stir thoroughly. Spoon the “pancake cutlets” into the frying pan and fry on each side for about 5 minutes.
