Pozharsky Cutlets

This is the kind of Russian dinner you’ll make on repeat — ground chicken and white bread, 45 minutes, big payoff. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 37 grams of protein per serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Ground chicken
• 3 slices White bread
• 1/3 cup Milk
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1 Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup Cream

Steps

1. Soak the bread in milk, squeeze dry, and mix with the chicken, egg, cream, salt, and pepper — the mixture will be soft.
2. Chill 20 minutes so the patties hold their shape in the pan.
3. Form oval cutlets with wet hands and roll in fine breadcrumbs, pressing firmly.
4. Fry in foaming butter 4 minutes per side until deeply golden; the butter should smell nutty, not burnt.
5. Finish in a 350-degree oven 8 minutes; the centers should be just cooked and juicy.
6. Serve with mashed potatoes and pour over a spoonful of the browned butter.
