Kotlety Pozharskie is a traditional Russian dish that features ground chicken, bread, and butter. The mixture is shaped into oval-shaped cutlets, coated in breadcrumbs, and pan-fried before being baked in the oven. The end result is a crispy exterior and a moist, flavorful interior. These chicken cutlets work well as an entree served with a side of vegetables or on top of a salad for a lighter meal. They are quick and easy to make with simple, accessible ingredients.
