- 50 g rolled oats

How to Make Dietary Chicken Cutlets in a Roasting Bag in the Oven
Removing the skin from the chicken breast and cutting the fillet off the bone.
Cutting an onion into small pieces.
Grinding chicken fillet, chopped onion, and a garlic clove through a meat grinder.
Remove the skin from the chicken breast and cut the fillet off the bone. You can leave a little chicken fat on, as it will make the kotlety (a type of meat patty popular in Eastern European cuisine) juicier. If you are on a low-calorie diet, it’s best to trim off all the fat.
Cut the onion into small pieces.
Pass the chicken fillet, chopped onion, and garlic clove through a meat grinder with a fine plate, or blend the ingredients in a food processor. You can add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water to the blender to make grinding the meat easier.
Pouring cold milk over quick-cooking rolled oats.
Adding the oats to the minced meat.
Adding spices.
Pour cold milk over the quick-cooking rolled oats. Stir and let the oats soak for 10 minutes.
The soaked oats become sticky and bind the patties well, working even better than an egg. Add the oats to the minced meat.
Add the spices: half a teaspoon of dried parsley and salt to taste. If desired, add a pre-made chicken seasoning blend. Be careful, as the seasoning may contain salt, in which case you should reduce the amount of salt in the recipe or omit it altogether.
Mixing the minced meat thoroughly.
Knead the mixture thoroughly. You can place it in the refrigerator for a while; it’s easier to form patties from chilled mince.
Dividing the minced meat into equal portions of about 110 g each.
Placing the cutlets in the roasting bag, spaced apart.
Taking the baking sheet out of the oven and letting it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the mixture into equal portions, about 110 g each. Moisten your hands with cold water and form round, flat patties. Cut about 50 centimeters of a roasting bag and two 15-centimeter ties.
Place the roasting bag on a baking sheet. Tie one end of the bag tightly and grease the inside surface with one teaspoon of odorless vegetable oil. Place the patties inside the bag, spaced apart. Tie the other end of the bag, but not too tightly, to allow steam to escape and prevent the bag from bursting during cooking. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook the patties for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, cut the bag open. The patties will continue to cook during these 10 minutes.
