Pozharsky cutlet is a traditional dish originating from the 19th century. It is named after prince Pozharsky, who was having important guests for dinner at the time. As there was no veal, his guests' favorite, the prince ordered the chefs to make chicken cutlets, and a new dish was born.

The dish consists of ground chicken that is breaded and fried with butter. It is recommended to serve the cutlets with roasted potatoes, green beans, or similar vegetables.
