Method of cooking sandwiches with chicken cutlet and mozzarella cheese baked in the oven

We make minced meat from chicken fillet, you can use ready-made, but, you must agree: it's always nice to know what cutlets are made of. In addition, you can grind meat directly on the board with a sharply sharpened knife, without using a meat grinder.

To fasten the ingredients of the cutlets, break a chicken egg into a bowl; it will serve as a kind of cement that will connect the products and prevent the cutlets from falling apart.

Finely chop a small bunch of cilantro and green onions and add to a bowl. Cilantro isn't to everyone's taste, so you can add a bunch of parsley or celery instead.

Saute finely chopped onion in a mixture of vegetable and butter. Just a teaspoon of butter is enough to make the sautéed onions delicious.

Add the sautéed onions and spices to the minced cutlet.

Pour in instant oatmeal, knead the cutlet mass, salt to taste (about 4 g of salt), put in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Instead of flakes, you can take oat or wheat bran, it will be more useful.

While the minced meat is cooling, fry the pieces of loaf in a toaster. For these purposes, we cut the loaf into slices about 1.5 centimeters thick.

We make cutlets of a suitable size - they must match the slices of bread. Fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Put it on the loaf immediately.

Put the mozzarella balls cut in half on the cutlets. Do not place large pieces of cheese; it will melt when baked and may spread over the baking sheet.

We heat the oven to a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius. We put the sandwiches on a baking sheet. If desired, the baking sheet can be covered with parchment or foil so as not to wash later.

We bake for 10 minutes on the middle shelf of the oven. Cut the chili pepper into rings, decorate our product with chili rings and a leaf of greenery.

We serve a snack to the table. These oven baked chicken cutlet and mozzarella sandwiches are good both hot and cold. Bon Appetit!
