Albanian-Style Chicken
Simple and delicious! Perfect for both festive occasions and everyday meals. Albanian-Style Chicken is a kind of cutlet made from finely chopped chicken fillet. It’s even easier to cook in a frying pan than regular ground chicken patties. Tender, juicy, and slightly tangy - a perfect match for any side dish.
