This dish is in regular rotation in our household. It’s easy to make, delicious and even the toddlers eat it. Plus it’s grain free. I use the word ‘cutlets’ because the Russian term for it is ‘kotleti’, which describes any chopped or ground meat or fish patties cooked in a pan. We ate ours today with dilled young potatoes from Amish Healthy Foods, and some sauteed red kale. I always add sauerkraut to my main dishes, and today it went really good with this combination.
Chicken Cutlets Recipe – Grain Free, Gluten Free

Total time:
Serves: 14 cutlets
Ingredients
- 4 free range chicken breasts
- 2 eggs, lightly whisked
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 1 tablespoon mustard (I use yellow)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Ghee, for frying
Instructions
- Chop the chicken into little pieces, the smaller the better. I use kitchen scissors, for easy cleanup. I wouldn’t recommend using a food processor, it chops it too fine, you want to have some texture. Meat grinder would work, although I prefer the little chunks.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, mix everything using a spoon or your hands. Form patties. I get about 14 patties.
- Preheat a 10 inch pan, melt ghee. Cook the cutlets on both sides for about 7-8 minutes each. I manage to fit 6 or 7 in a pan.
- Serve hot.
