One of visitors of forum I am often read shared this recipe, and I had to try it: it seems both easy to do and very unusual.
And turned out great: chicken meat pieces, mixed with mushroom pieces and cheese, tasty, juicy, melty and just great!
I tried two kinds of side dish with chicken and mushroom cutlets: boiled potatoes and boiled buckwheat, and I liked it. I think fresh veggies salad will be a good addition.

- 4 tablespoons of original sour cream

Easy to follow. The picture help me a lot.
Can you bake the cutlets instead of frying them?
I am honestly no sure what the result would be. If you decide to try, please share your results with us.
Hola Julia,
They came out great! i find that if you wet your hands a bit with water before moulding a cutlet before putting them in the skillet makes it easier to mould it in the hands without getitng it all sticky and messy..but it came out great, invited some people over for it and they finished it all off! I made a batch of mini burgers of it
thank you for this wonderful recipe 🙂
I usually do it with two spoons like on picture, it is easier to manage somewhat liquid mix with spoons than with hands.
But yep, wet hands are better than dry for meat mix, that is for sure.
Thanks for trying the recipe 😉
hello Julia,
for this recipe, i don’t have potato starch. can i substitute it with corn starch or flour? if so, how much of each do i need instead?
thank you 🙂
cheers,
Hal
4 tablespoons of flour will do just fine, I did it with flour last weekend myself 🙂
Hola Julia,
