The daily diet of a family very often baffles home cooks, because it is very difficult to prepare a variety of dishes from the same ingredients. Chicken cutlets with melted cheese are an excellent dish that will fit perfectly into your daily diet and your home cookbook.

Cooking the dish is practically no different from the traditional version, so you can easily cope with the process.

The most important thing in any dish is quality ingredients, because if the raw materials are of unsuitable quality, then all your efforts may be in vain. We will tell you how to choose the right fermented milk product so that the finished cutlets will amaze you with their taste.

  • First of all make sure you are buying processed cheese and not a cheese product. After all, two identical packages lying on the counter can have completely different compositions. Before purchasing, carefully study the packaging and make sure that you are paying for the cheese and not for its “copycat”.

A quality product should include minimal amount ingredients. If you count more than 6-7, then the cheese contains a lot of harmful substances. Of course, it is better to refuse such a purchase in favor of high-quality processed cheese.

Before purchasing, be sure to check the packaging date of the cheese and its shelf life.. The shelf life of the processed product should not exceed 3 months - there are no preservatives in such cheese, and it can be called natural. If the product can be stored for six months or more, then you are definitely looking at cheese stuffed with harmful ingredients that prolong its freshness.

To buy good cheese, also carefully inspect the packaging for damage. The box or foil must be absolutely intact, without any dents or abrasions. This is very important when choosing processed cheese, because if the packaging is damaged and the cheese comes into contact with air, it immediately begins to deteriorate. Such processed cheese should not be eaten - it can cause considerable harm to your body.

  • Today, processed cheese is sold not only in classic version, and with many additives. For example, with herbs, bacon, mushrooms and garlic are the most popular flavors, but it is best to choose regular cream cheese for heat treatment.
  • You can also determine the quality of cheese by price, because good processed cheese cannot be cheap. But still, its price is affordable for everyone, and you can always buy excellent processed cheese for preparing your favorite dishes.

The most popular dish in every family is chicken cutlets. Each housewife has her own recipe for minced meat for cutlets, but few know how tasty chicken cutlets with melted cheese in a slow cooker are. It would seem that processed cheese is not quite a suitable product for meat dish, but in reality this additive turns out to be very useful. The taste of cheese in the finished dish is not expressive, but processed cheese gives the cutlets softness and juiciness, and also changes the structure of the dish, making it more elastic. Even if you don't like processed cheese, try this dish. We are sure that you will definitely like these chicken cutlets.

How to cook cutlets with melted cheese:

It is better to prepare minced chicken for cutlets yourself. At home, you can prepare minced meat from pure chicken breast, while store-bought minced meat often contains impurities of fat and chicken skin. Agree, tasty dish can only be made from quality products. Therefore we take chicken breast, cut it off the bone, remove the skin. Cut into small pieces. We pass the meat through a meat grinder or punch it in a blender. If you choose between a meat grinder and a blender, I prefer the second option, because the meat crushed in this way turns into a homogeneous, loose mass, and this significantly affects the structure of the cutlets.

From pieces of loaf or white bread remove the crust. Soak the bread crumb in milk and cure it. Add to the minced meat and blend again with a blender.

Processed cheese can be taken classic or with any additives, for example, “Mushroom”, “With ham”. The main thing is that this product is of high quality. The packaging of “correct” processed cheese should not contain the words “Cheese product”. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and add it to the minced meat, punch it again with a blender.

Transfer the meat mass into a bowl. Green onions cut finely, add to minced meat. Also add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix everything.

The minced meat for chicken cutlets is homogeneous and sticky. You need to form the cutlets with your hands, moistening them with water. As soon as the minced meat begins to stick to your palms, wet your hands with water. The cutlets can be made round or oblong.

Bread the cutlets in grated breadcrumbs, flour or a special breading mixture, which when fried gives an appetizing crust.

Pour vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl and turn on the “Frying” program. When the oil is hot, place the prepared cutlets in a single layer. Fry them on each side for 7-8 minutes. Frying time may vary depending on the power of your multicooker.
