Your chicken or turkey cutlet is a little too dry?
It's true that this type of white meat often lacks tenderness.
Result, it is not very pleasant to eat. So what to do?
Fortunately, there is an effective trick to tenderize your meat easily.
The trick is to macerate it in lemon juice for 30 min . Watch:
1. Squeeze a lemon into a deep plate.
2. Dip your cutlet in it, turning it over to soak both sides.
3. Let it macerate for 30 minutes on the plate.
4. Put the plate in the fridge with cling film.
5. Take the cutlet out of the fridge and remove the cutlet from the plate.
6. Wipe off excess lemon juice with paper towel.
7. Cook the meat when it is completely dry.
And There you go ! Your cutlet is now very tender thanks to this lemon marinade :-)
Know that this kitchen trick is very often used in Asia to tenderize meat.
For more flavor, feel free to add herbs to the lemon juice as pictured above.
The meat will take on the taste of rosemary, thyme or basil, for example.
Lemon juice has the property of “cooking” meat thanks to its acidity.
Thus, chicken or turkey requires less cooking time and the meat is much more tender.
This technique works well with turkey or chicken cutlets, which are often a little dry.
Don't forget to rinse them if lemon is not part of your recipe.
