One regret I have is not having discovered Kotlety Pozharskie, or Russian Ground Chicken Cutlet prior to now. These Russian ground chicken cutlets are out of this world delicious! This couldn’t be simpler to prepare. You make the cutlets by mixing ground chicken, milk soaked bread, butter, and salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into cutlets, and then roll in breadcrumbs. Fry these delicacies in butter, and the results are incredibly moist and juicy cutlets!

History of the Kotlety Pozharskie

The Kotlety Pozharskie is one of the foods listed in the book 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die, by Mimi Sheraton. It is #20 in my quest to try each and every one of the foods in the book.

The Pozharskie family created this dish in the 19th century in Russia. The Pozharskie’s owned an inn and restaurant in Torjok. Torjok was a place between Moscow and St. Petersburg where travelers could stop, rest, and get a bite to eat. I can just imagine the delight of travelers who stopped here and then were treated to the Kotlety Pozharskie!

The cutlets (or kotlety) were originally made out of ground beef, with some game meats or veal mixed in. Nowadays, the cutlets are mostly made with ground chicken.

What To Serve With Russian Ground Chicken Cutlet

Creamed spinach and mushrooms

These Russian ground chicken cutlets make a quick, easy, and inexpensive main course! Served with egg noodles, and a side dish made of creamed spinach and mushrooms, and you have a superb meal!

The recipe I used for the vegetable side is Creamed Spinach and Mushrooms, from the site Produce for Kids. I didn’t intend for this meal to be “kid friendly,” but I believe kids would absolutely adore the chicken cutlets, the egg noodles, and the creamed spinach and mushrooms!

Add a red/pink hued sour cream to the egg noodles as the finishing touch. This is so easy to make! Pour a splash of milk to 1/4 cup of sour cream (milk will loosen up the sour cream). Add in 1/2 ts of paprika and there you have your pink hued sour cream. 🙂

About Me

Hi I’m Grace! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions! Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go. My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too. Let’s throw some actual travel in from time to time, all with an emphasis on keeping your wallet full and happy as well. Let’s get cooking and let’s start exploring!! I'm excited to be on this journey with you!!

By the way most of these recipes are Toby taste tested and Toby approved!!
