Steamed chicken cutlets - a great option for a dietary meat dish! Such cutlets contain a minimum of calories, and are also much more useful than fried or stewed cutlets. Steam chicken cutlets will become less dietary if you add bread, fat sour cream or cheese to minced meat, but, nevertheless, such food will not lose not only the necessary vitamins and other benefits for the body, but also the richness of aroma and taste. Usually, steamed chicken cutlets in finished form, they have a not very attractive grayish-white color of boiled meat of this bird, which often scares away small children. But I will tell you how you can “amuse” this picture a little, and the child will look at your super-useful cutlets with a different look!
How to choose the right ingredients
The main component of the cutlets that we cook today is, of course, chicken meat. It is best to use chicken fillet, but you can also use meat from chicken quarters or regular minced chicken. But keep in mind that the purchased minced meat may also contain a considerable amount of chicken fat, with which the unscrupulous manufacturer decided to dilute the meat base. I gradually improved the recipe for these cutlets by adding new ingredients, and I prepared the original version - without spices and breading - when I expanded my little son's diet during the introduction of complementary foods. Breading can be replaced with the usual crumb of white bread soaked in milk or a small amount of grated potatoes.

Recipe for steamed chicken cutlets in a slow cooker
- Time for preparing: 25-40 minutes.
- Servings: 10-15.
- Kitchen appliances:meat grinder, multicooker.
Ingredients
Step by step cooking
- Grind the chicken meat with a knife or meat grinder to a state of minced meat.
- Peel the onion, wash and cut into small cubes or grate. Peel half a medium carrot, grate on a fine grater.
- Add the prepared onions and carrots to the minced meat, beat in the egg. Don't forget to salt and season to taste.
- Grind the greens, pour into a bowl with minced meat, add breadcrumbs and mix all its contents thoroughly with your hand.
- Form meatballs from a homogeneous minced meat.
- Pour a liter of water into the multicooker bowl, place a plastic steaming dish and put the cutlets into it at a short distance from each other. Close the multicooker lid and cook for about 20 minutes. My slow cooker automatically sets this amount of time, which is enough for it to heat water and cook chicken cutlets, but you can add another 5-10 minutes if you wish.
- If you don’t have a slow cooker or double boiler in your kitchen, you can cook steam chicken cutlets by putting them in an ordinary colander and set in a pot of boiling water so that it does not sink into the water. There are also special stands for steaming.
How to apply
Cutlets, if desired, can be sprinkled with fresh finely chopped greens and served with your favorite porridge or mashed potatoes. You can also use sour cream or gravy to your taste.
Possible other cooking and filling options
Steam cutlets can be “decorated”, as well as further enriching the usefulness of this dish by adding various vegetables to the minced meat, for example, a small amount of carrots grated on a fine grater, chopped bell pepper (red is best for color) and herbs. Also, to taste, you can add tomato minced meat. Breading or bread is successfully replaced with oatmeal.
In addition to diet chicken cutlets for a couple there are still a lot of other tasty and healthy ones. So, you may ask how to cook. If you are a zealous fan of making cutlets non-standard every time by adding various ingredients, then chicken cutlets with zucchini is just one of those recipes that you need. Well, certainly no one will be left indifferent!
