Equipment
- Food processor
- Large heavy skillet
- 2 bowls
Ingredients
- 15 slices Country style bread loaf, crusts removed
- ¼ cup Milk
- 1 lb Chicken breast, skinless and boneless, cut into chunks
- 1 lb Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into chunks
- 10 tbsp European butter, unsalted
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ½ tsp White pepper (or black)
- 2 medium Eggs, beaten
- 4 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare Cutlets - Soak half the bread cubes in milk for 15 minutes. Process remaining bread cubes into bread crumbs. Remove to a bowl. Squeeze out wet bread gently and place directly in the bowl of food processor. Add chicken and pulse until roughly chopped. Dice 6 tbsp butter and add to the bowl with salt and white pepper. Pulse until mixture is smooth. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes for easier handling. Divide chicken mixture into 6 equal balls. Press each into hamburger sized patties. Dip each into egg and then bread crumbs, thoroughly coating all sides. Refrigerate another 10 minutes.
- Cook Cutlets - In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add butter and when hot, fry patties until golden brown on the outside no longer pink on the inside, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the outsides or dry out the insides by overcooking. Serve with sour cream sauce on the side (see Notes), a green vegetable and buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- To make sour cream sauce, mix 1 half cup sour cream with 1 half cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp ketchup, and 1 tsp each of salt, pepper, and paprika.
- For fun, chicken may be shaped to look like a pork chop prior to the breading process.
