Russian Chicken Kotleti (Gluten-Free Recipe)

These are a huge staple in Russian families, and kids love them! I used gluten-free panko crumbs in my chicken kotleti, but you can use regular bread crumbs as well.

Ingredients:
1 - 1 1/2 lbs. ground chicken
1 cup gluten free bread crumbs, extra for breading outsides
1 egg
1/3 cup half n half
a few tablespoons chopped cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
vegetable oil for frying

Directions:
1. Mix the ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, half n half, cilantro, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
2. Heat about an inch of vegetable oil to medium heat in a frying pan.
3. Form patties about 3 to 4 inches across and bread both sides in the extra bread crumbs.
4. Drop into the oil and cook for about 5 minutes on each side (covering the kotleti while they're frying with a pan cover makes them cook faster).

5. Place on paper towel for grease to drain.
