Chicken Kotleti are similar to chicken nuggets. They are perfect for snacking or when served with pasta, mashed potatoes or addition of protein to any salad. Kids love them as much, if not more than chicken nuggets.

This recipe makes the most amazing, juicy kotleti. That’s why you see all this beautiful, shiny gloss. Thanks to our good friend, Vera, from Instagram, for sharing such a wonderful recipe.

If you plan on grinding chicken yourself, you can grind all of the vegetables without cleaning the grinder in-between. Great way to multi-use, without having to wash many dishes.

  • In a separate dish, soak bread slices in milk. Using your hand, squeeze out as much milk, out of the bread slice, as you can, and crumble up the bread into the meat mixture. Add cheese into the mixture and season it with salt and pepper.
