Even chicken cutlets can be made juicy: add this ingredient - and the juice will literally flow out of the dish

It is generally accepted that it is impossible to make chicken cutlets juicy.

Many amateur cooks are sure that due to the almost complete absence of fat, the dish will always come out dry.

However, cooks and experienced housewives do not agree with this opinion.

It turns out that even minced chicken can be used to make tender cutlets with a high juice content.

What to add to minced meat

Some vegetable will act as a saving ingredient.

One of the best options is carrots. The root vegetable, grated with a grater, will add juiciness to the dish.

A similar result can be achieved by using an additive such as grated zucchini.

But you need to take into account the following nuance: this culinary trick will only “work” if there is quite a lot of the vegetable ingredient.

This component should occupy at least a third of the volume of the entire cutlet mass.

Other options

If the cook does not want to make the chicken cutlets too “vegetable”, then other additives can be used.

Thus, the dish will be more tender and aromatic if you use chopped champignons.

And don’t forget about the secret of the juiciness and softness of the dish, such as adding white bread pulp that has undergone preliminary “milk” processing to the meat base.
