Directions
-
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the finely chopped fresh mushrooms, salt, and a pinch of pepper to the skillet.
-
Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned and all liquid has evaporated.
-
Remove 1 tablespoon of the cooked mushrooms and set aside for the sauce; reserve the rest for the filling.
-
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of fresh bread crumbs with 1/2 cup of light cream and let sit for a minute to soften.
-
Add the ground skinless, boneless chicken breasts, 1 lightly beaten egg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and a pinch each of cayenne, nutmeg, and black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
-
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
-
Spread the remaining bread crumbs in a shallow pan for coating.
-
Divide the chicken mixture into 8 equal portions.
-
With wet hands, form each portion into an oblong patty and flatten slightly in the center.
-
Place 1/8 of the mushroom filling in the center of each patty.
-
Fold the chicken over the filling and seal the edges, patting gently to form a smooth oval.
-
Roll each patty gently in the remaining bread crumbs to coat evenly.
-
Place the coated patties on a waxed paper-lined tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a clean skillet over medium heat.
-
Cook the kotletki in batches, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
-
While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce: melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan.
-
Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions and sauté until softened.
-
Stir in 2/3 cup of whipping cream and 2/3 cup of sour cream, heating gently without boiling.
-
Add the reserved tablespoon of mushrooms, 2 teaspoons of white vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the sauce.
-
Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Serve the hot chicken kotletki immediately, drizzled with the warm sour cream sauce.
