Chicken fillet is usually understood as the breast part of the bird, separated from the skin and bones. It, unlike rather fatty thighs, is low in calories and nutritious due to its high protein content. For this reason, chicken fillet is especially loved by athletes and nutrition-conscious representatives of the fairer sex.
Chicken breast with cheese in the oven, general cooking principles
• To bake chicken breast in the oven with cheese, use chicken fillet. When purchasing a whole breast, separate the bones to separate the fillets and remove the skin.
• Wash the chicken fillet thoroughly under running water, removing the films.
• To keep the chicken breast cooked in the oven soft, beat it with a special hammer or the back of a knife blade.
• Grated cheese, melting during baking, forms a golden brown crust on the surface of the breast. It, in turn, does not allow the juice secreted by the meat to evaporate, which makes the dish more juicy.
• The oven is preheated. Baking is carried out in a temperature range from 180 to 200 degrees, the time is indicated in the recipe.
Place the dish on a baking sheet
We omit the process of cutting and marinating meat pieces - we talked about this in detail just above. Let's move on to how to properly form chicken fillet on a baking sheet. Recipes in the oven with cheese and tomatoes do not take much time from the housewife, so they can easily be classified as “quickly” dishes. While the oven is heating up, place the ingredients on a baking sheet.
As usual, grease the baking dish with vegetable oil. Place the marinated pieces of meat in the first layer, then the onion, cut into half rings. Some housewives add onion half rings to the meat at the marinating stage. It is believed that in this way the onion gives even more of its juiciness and flavor to the chicken.
Having distributed the onions evenly over the surface, we do the same with the tomatoes. How you cut them is a matter of individual taste. You can do it in thin slices, or you can do it in circles. Don't forget to lightly salt the tomatoes and grease them with mayonnaise or sour cream. All that remains is to lay out a layer of coarsely grated cheese and place the pan in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for about half an hour. So the tender and juicy chicken fillet is ready. Even a schoolchild can easily master recipes for baking with cheese.
What to serve the dish with?
Some may think that the presented dish is completely independent. However, it would be a good idea to chop a vegetable salad or boil buckwheat or rice as a side dish. Some housewives stew vegetables for this dish. Why do several manipulations when it is quite possible to combine dishes. Now we will tell you how else you can bake chicken fillet. Oven recipes with cheese and potatoes involve even more multi-stage baking.
To begin, cut vegetables (potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, zucchini in any combination) into thin slices onto a baking sheet, add salt and pepper if necessary. Then lay out the cooked fillet and put it in the oven for 15-20 minutes. To top off all this splendor, add fried mushrooms and onions to the dish, spread with sour cream, flavor with cheese and put it back in the oven. Increase the total cooking time by another 5-10 minutes.
Bon appetit!

- salt, pepper - to taste;
- vegetable oil - 1 teaspoon;
For potatoes:
- salt, pepper, garlic to taste;
- vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. spoon.
Cooking steps:
1. I bake the chicken in a large pan along with potatoes. I take 8 small potatoes and cut them into thin bars. I transfer the chopped potatoes into a container with water, rinse them well to remove starch, and place them in a colander. Shake the water from the potatoes well and transfer it to a bowl. Lightly salt to taste, add half a teaspoon of dry ground garlic, a little freshly ground black pepper, a tablespoon of vegetable oil. I mix everything well so that each piece of potato is coated with oil and spices. For now I put the potatoes aside.
2. I get to work on the tomatoes - cut 1 medium tomato in half, remove the stems, and cut into thin slices.
3. I cut the cheese into these slices in advance.
4. To prepare the dish, I took 2 chicken fillets and made pockets on them at a distance of 1.5 cm from each other. To do this, I place the fillet on a board and place wooden sticks next to it. I carefully cut the fillet without reaching the end. It turns out to be meat with pockets; I will put tomatoes and cheese in them. I will do the same with the second fillet.
5. To make the meat juicy, I bake it on fillet. I place each fillet on foil, lightly grease it with vegetable oil, lightly salt and pepper. I put a slice of cheese and tomato in each pocket. I lift the foil along the edges and lift it to the top. I fasten the ends of the foil and tuck them in so that the juice does not leak out. These are the boats you get.
6. Place the boats in a baking dish in the center. I mix the potatoes again and place them in the mold next to the boats.
7. I bake the dish in a preheated oven at 190 degrees, or until the potatoes are browned. The chicken fillet will cook even faster. After 30 minutes I take the luxurious dish out of the oven.
8. It turns out very appetizing; I leave the fillets in the pan for another 5 minutes to let them sit. Then they can be served. After 5 minutes, I open the foil and place the fillet on a plate. I pour the juice that remains on the foil into separate sauce boats and serve. I decorate the dish with feathers of green onions. It turned out so delicious, and you can try it.
The meat was cooked well, it turned out juicy and just melted in your mouth. I advise you to prepare such a fragrant dish and please your loved ones and friends with it. Once you make it, you will return to this recipe again and again.
