Chicken fillet in foil
The recipe is surprisingly simple! Absolutely anyone can prepare such a dish, and the chicken itself will be juicy and flavorful. By the way, if you prefer tasty but light food, then chicken prepared in this way is what you need.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 pieces of chicken breasts;
- Spices;
- Salt.
Preparation:
White chicken meat is considered dietary. But not everyone can cook it so that the meat turns out juicy. However, chicken breast in foil will definitely turn out like this. So, turn on the oven and leave it to warm up to 200-220 degrees. Carefully remove the white chicken meat from the bones and lightly beat it. By the way, if you do not have a special hammer, then this can be done with an ordinary knife with a heavy handle.
Now take the foil and unwind the piece to spread the meat on it. Sprinkle the foil with salt and spices and place the chicken pieces on it. We also sprinkle the meat with spices and salt. By the way, you can use spices according to your taste. The easiest option is to take ground black pepper.
After this, wrap the meat in foil so that it is in an almost airtight package. Only in this case the chicken will turn out juicy. Place the packaged fillet on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for twenty to thirty minutes, after which we remove the chicken from the foil and place it on a dish. Serve with any side dish (to taste).
Chicken breast in foil in the oven - recipe
Once all the ingredients have been prepared, you can start cooking the chicken breast in foil in the oven. Let's prepare the marinade for baking chicken breast. Pour soy sauce into a small bowl. Add table mustard. You can also use Dijon mustard beans.
Pass the peeled garlic cloves through a press into a bowl of marinade.
Add spices. The following spices are suitable for baking chicken breast: paprika, black pepper, coriander, hops-suneli, curry, savory, rosemary, thyme.
Pour olive oil into the marinade. Any vegetable oil combined with soy sauce gives the meat a beautiful crispy crust.
Stir the marinade for baking chicken breast in foil in the oven.
Before marinating, be sure to rinse fresh chicken breast with cold water and then pat it with napkins.
Frozen chicken breast must be thawed. It is desirable that the defrosting process occurs naturally, that is, without the help of a microwave. Apply the soy sauce marinade to the entire surface of the chicken breast.
Place the chicken breast in a tray. Cover with a lid. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 3-5 hours. Wrap the chicken breast marinated in this way in foil. Place on a baking sheet or pour into a mold. Place in the oven at 180C. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Next, open the foil on top. After remaining in the oven for another 10 minutes, the chicken breast in the foil will become crispier in the oven.
Chicken breast can be served as a ready-made meat dish for the main side dish, or used for making salads or as a cut meat for sandwiches. Enjoy your meal. I will be glad if you liked this recipe for baked chicken breast in the oven and find it useful.
Chicken fillet with vegetables
Try cooking oven-baked chicken with vegetables. The aroma of this dish will simply drive you crazy!
Ingredients:
- Chicken breasts – 3 pieces;
- Onion – 1 large head;
- Garlic – 2-3 cloves;
- Potatoes – 5 pieces;
- Bell pepper – 1-2 pods;
- Cheese (any hard) – 150 grams

Preparation:
Peel the garlic cloves and onion and chop them on a grater or using a meat grinder (blender). Mix the resulting slurry with vegetable oil and spices and rub the chicken fillet cut into pieces with this mixture. Let the meat marinate for at least one hour.
During this time, you need to peel and wash the potatoes, cut them into cubes and fry them in butter. We remove the potatoes from the frying pan, but do not pour out the oil - we will need it later. Then we peel the tomatoes, wash the bell pepper pods and remove the stems and membranes with seeds. When the chicken is well soaked in the garlic and onion marinade, fry it in butter. Then place sliced tomatoes and sweet peppers on top of the meat and sauté a little again. At the end, add canned corn without marinade, saute for another one or two minutes and remove the pan from the heat.
Place the potatoes in the pan, stir and sprinkle everything with cheese shavings. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about twenty minutes. That's all! Our chicken with vegetables is ready - you can take a sample.

The recipe is very similar to the well-known French meat. Only instead of traditional veal we will try to cook chicken fillet.
Ingredients:
- One chicken fillet;
- 2-3 garlic cloves;
- A glass (or a little more) of mayonnaise;
- 200 grams of any hard cheese;

Preparation:
Wash the chicken, dry it and remove the fillet without skin. We cut the meat into pieces designed for one serving, and then lightly beat them on both sides. Now we make a mixture of salt, black pepper and any seasonings to your liking (curry, paprika, Italian or Provençal herbs, basil, etc.). Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken pieces. Pass the garlic through a garlic press or chop it on a grater and grind it with mayonnaise. Coat the meat with mayonnaise and leave it to marinate for an hour or two.
When the chicken is marinated, turn on the oven, and spread the meat in an even layer on a baking sheet, which must be greased with vegetable oil. We turn the cheese into cheese shavings and generously sprinkle the meat with these shavings. Place the baking sheet with the chicken in the oven and bake the meat and cheese for about half an hour. Serve the chicken with fried potatoes or boiled rice and vegetable salad.

Chicken fillet Italian style
If you want to cook chicken fillet baked in the oven, you can find recipes in any cookbook. Baking in foil is very convenient - you don’t need to clean the baking sheet from fat and burnt food. And most importantly, you can bake anything with chicken fillet! This dish is inexpensive, and with Italian seasonings and spices it will taste and smell amazing.
You will need the following products:
- Chicken breasts - you need two large breasts, which you cut into two pieces.
- Red potatoes - you need potatoes that are well cooked so that they are not tough. You can either take small potatoes, or simply cut large potatoes into several pieces.
- Carrots - take a regular carrot and cut it into thin long strips.
- Onion - simply thinly cut into rings or cubes.
- Green pepper - cut into thin strips.
Preheat grill or oven to 200 degrees. Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 pieces. Prepare the vegetables: Cut the potatoes into two or four pieces (you want them to be very small so they cook at the same time as everything else). Thinly slice green peppers, onions into rings, and carrots into strips.
In a very large bowl, add potatoes, bell peppers, onion rings, carrots, chicken and minced garlic. Add olive oil and all the spices: dried basil, oregano, parsley, garlic and onion powder, dried thyme and red pepper if desired. Add salt and pepper (about half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter of pepper, but this is to your taste). Stir all ingredients together to ensure all seasonings are well mixed into the oil.
Take 4 large sheets of foil. Distribute the vegetables evenly on each piece and add a piece of chicken. Seal with foil and cook in a well-done oven for at least 25-40 minutes. You can slightly open the foil on top, or you can open it completely five minutes before the end of cooking if you want a golden crust. Open the foil carefully to avoid being burned by the steam. If desired, sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley on top, pour in juice squeezed from lemon and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. In addition, sprinkle everything with salt and pepper, and you can call everyone to the table.
