What you'll need.

For the cutlets

2 chicken fillets (about 600 g), finely diced
3 large eggs
100 g cheese, grated
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp dill, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
½ tsp dried garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the dip

2 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp ketchup
1 tsp mustard

How to make it.

Dice the chicken into very small pieces and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add the eggs, cheese, flour, mayonnaise, dill, green onions, dried garlic, salt and pepper and mix well.
Shape the mixture into small flat cutlets with damp hands and arrange them on a suitable liner.
Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, turning carefully halfway, until golden and cooked through.
Mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard and serve with the warm cutlets.

My tips.

Dice the chicken finely and chill a soft mixture for ten minutes so the cutlets are easier to shape. For a lighter variation, replace the mayonnaise in the cutlets and dip with Greek yogurt.

Good to know.

Can I shape the cutlets ahead?
Yes. Keep them covered in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours before air frying.

Can I use ground chicken?
Ground chicken works, although the finished texture will be smoother and less chunky.

What should I serve with them?
Mashed potatoes, cucumber salad, or roasted vegetables are all good companions.
