Chicken and kale made into cutlets…
I can enjoy chicken cutlets almost every day. I deep fry ’em or pan fry ’em, add different ingredients, coat with breadcrumbs or with panko crumbs; the options are endless.
The other day, I added kale leaves to the chicken filling and made into patties. Coated with egg whites and then dipped in panko crumbs- crunchy chicken kale cutlets are ready to be devoured.
