Chopped Chicken Patties. Juicy and Tender. 

In Russian cuisine fried meat or chicken patties are called cutlets. The word "cutlet" (French: côtelette) comes from the French côtelé or côte, meaning ribbed or rib.
The classic cutlet was quite an interesting dish. A rib, either beef or pork, was wrapped in two layers of meat, forming some sort of patty, and then fried.
This dish came into Russian cuisine during the time of Peter I. However, by the first half of the 19th century, there had appeared the so-called chopped meat cutlets, in which the meat was finely chopped with a knife. With the advent of meat grinders, the recipe was simplified, and since then minced meat has been used. And not just meat, but chicken, fish, all sorts of vegetable and so on. Cutlets can be made from a vast variety of ingredients.
Besides, the cutlet has plenty of foreign "relatives"-zrazy, bitki...
In European cuisine the term cutlet still refers to meat on the bone. However, there exist many dishes that resemble our cutlets: English patties, burgers, Australian rissoles, and some types of kebabs in Middle Eastern countries.
