Oven Baked Chicken Cutlets with Zucchini

If you are fed up with traditional chicken or meat cutlets, try to make appetizing zucchini and mince cutlets. Grated zucchini gives the finished dish juiciness, and semolina - softness and lightness. To make the dish even more useful and less caloric, I suggest not frying cutlets in vegetable oil, but baking them in the oven. As a result, very tasty, gentle and fragrant cutlets are obtained, and they are suitable for a dietary or children's menu. Golden cutlets can be served with your favorite cereal, pasta, baked or boiled vegetables, fresh salad or homemade canning.
