Delicious chicken cutlets without eggs for a hearty lunch: what to add to keep the products from falling apart

Cutlets are a versatile addition to any side dish. To make the products sufficiently dietary and low-fat, it is best to choose chicken meat for the base. And eggs, which are traditionally added to minced meat for density, can be replaced.
