Good afternoon.

I think it's not a secret for anyone that chicken meat is dietary and is recommended for any diet in which meat is supposed to be consumed.

Well, the least fatty part of chicken, without a doubt, is the breast - the so-called white meat, consisting almost exclusively of protein. This is very cool, but a problem arises: meat without fat is very dry and you need to try very hard to make the breast soft and juicy when cooking.

It is to this question: how to cook a chicken breast so that it turns out juicy, and I want to devote this and the next few notes. So that if you decide to eat only breast for some time, then you would not have to choke on dry boiled meat and quietly hate the whole concept.

Today we have a variety of oven-baked chicken breasts.

For the marinade:

  • Vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons

A small digression for the future: chicken breast is the front of the chicken on the bone. One breast can be cut into 2 chicken fillets by removing the meat from the bone. This is an important point when describing ingredients.

1. Prepare the marinade. In one deep bowl, mix vegetable oil with salt, turmeric, chicken seasoning and ground pepper.


Add garlic squeezed out with garlic press and mix well.


2. Now we take one half of the chicken breast, removed from the bone and make several oblique cuts in it. Leave the distance between the cuts about 1 cm.

We try very hard not to cut the breast completely in half, leaving about half a centimeter undercut


The result is a kind of book pages.


We do the same with the second half of the breast and sprinkle them with salt.


3. Thoroughly coat the meat with marinade. The most convenient way to do this is with a regular brush.


4. Transfer the meat to a baking dish greased with vegetable oil.


5. Cut the cheese and tomatoes into thin slices.


6. Put a piece of cheese and a circle of tomato into each cut.


7. The resulting books are sent to the oven, preheated to 190 degrees for 30 minutes.

See you soon!

Chicken breast is not only a dietary but also a very tasty product. You can make amazing first courses from it, fry it with spices in a pan, or serve it as an ingredient in a salad. But the most delicious dishes are baked in the oven, flavored with hard cheese, which brings a spicy golden crust to the dish. Recipes including) are in this article.

Some secrets

The breasts are quite firm in taste, so it is best if you cut each piece into at least three parts before cooking in the oven. It is very good if you can cut the fibers along, forming 2-3 identical plates. To make the meat more tender, before cooking it is thoroughly beaten, wrapped in polyethylene. This is done so that excess juice does not come out.

You can immediately place the pieces on a baking sheet. However, it is better if the fillets are first salted and pepper, smeared with mayonnaise or sour cream and left under the lid for at least an hour at room temperature. Thus, the meat will absorb salt and spices even before cooking, and the taste of the finished dish will be excellent.

Chicken fillet: recipes in the oven with cheese and tomatoes

Cheese, like no other product, is in harmony with tomatoes. It is logical that this combination is reflected in the following recipe. As ingredients we need:

  • chicken fillet - 3 pieces;
  • mayonnaise as a sauce for impregnating meat;
  • tomatoes - 3-4 pieces;
  • one large onion;
  • hard cheese - 150-200 gr;
  • salt;
  • spices to taste.

We put the dish on a baking sheet

We omit the process of cutting and marinating meat pieces - we talked about this in detail a little higher. We turn to how to properly form on a baking sheet with cheese and tomato does not take much time from the hostess, so they can easily be counted among the "haste" dishes. While the oven is warming up, place the ingredients on a baking sheet.

As usual, grease the baking dish with vegetable oil. Put 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 even at the pickling stage. It is believed that in this way the onion gives even more of its juiciness and aroma to the chicken.

Having evenly distributed the onion over the surface, we do the same with the tomatoes. How you will cut them is a matter of individual taste. It can be in thin slices, or in circles. Do not forget to lightly salt the tomatoes, as well as grease them with mayonnaise or sour cream. It remains to lay out a layer of cheese grated on a coarse grater and place the mold in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for about half an hour. So it's ready to be tender and even a schoolboy can easily master it with cheese.

Fillet recipe baked with mushrooms

What do we love as much as tender, slightly spicy dietary meat? Of course, mushrooms. Moreover, the quality and taste of the dish will not change at all from the variety of mushrooms. If the mushroom season is over, then in stores you can easily find frozen porcini mushrooms or champignons. We propose to add them to the recipe.

To prepare a dish, we need:

  • 2-3 large chicken fillets;
  • champignons (forest mushrooms) - 200 gr;
  • one large onion;
  • sour cream for the sauce - 3 tablespoons;
  • vegetable oil for greasing the baking sheet;
  • salt and spices;
  • coarsely grated hard cheese - 150 gr.

The optimal thickness of the meat plates is 1 centimeter, the width is no more than 5 cm. After all the above manipulations with the meat have been done, we put it in a baking dish and send it to a preheated oven.

Fry mushrooms

We have exactly 15 minutes to fry mushrooms and onions - this is exactly how much meat should spend in the oven alone. The preheated oven temperature is standard (200 degrees).

Cut the mushrooms into small cubes and send them to a frying pan greased with sunflower oil for 10 minutes. You can fry over medium heat.

Neither meat nor mushrooms can be spoiled with onions, so the larger the onion, the better. We cut it into half rings, send it to the mushrooms and bring the onion to the state of transparency.

Putting the ingredients together

Wasn't our languishing chicken fillet waiting for the rest of the ingredients? Oven cheese and mushroom recipes have a variety of options. In this it is proposed to combine separately fried mushrooms with meat after the fillet has been languishing in the oven for some time.

We take out a baking sheet with semi-prepared meat from the oven, put mushrooms fried with onions on the fillet and pour sour cream over the dish. It remains to distribute grated cheese over the surface and send the dish to the oven again until fully cooked. A toasty crust forms in 10-15 minutes. So our ruddy is ready and Recipes in the oven with cheese and mushrooms will not leave indifferent even the most discerning gourmet.

What to serve the dish with?

It may seem to someone that the presented dish is completely independent. However, it will be useful to chop vegetable salad, boil buckwheat or rice as a side dish. Some housewives stew vegetables for such a dish. Why do several manipulations when it is quite possible to combine dishes. Now we will tell you how else you can bake chicken fillets.

Methods and general principles of cooking chicken breast in the oven

  1. Chicken has very valuable meat that is rich in proteins and amino acids. But it is very difficult to prepare the breast during cooking so that the fillet remains tender and juicy - because the product has a very low fat content. It is very easy to spoil the fillet, hence the myths arise that the chicken breast is tough, fibrous and tasteless;
  2. The easiest way is to cook meat in a frying pan, but baking reduces the total calorie content of the dish, and then instead of a salad of "herbs" and vegetables, you can serve something more satisfying to the chicken. If you love chicken - master various baking methods and indulge yourself with delicious dishes;
  3. For example, a little spices, salt, aromatic herbs and garlic, a special baking bag and a high temperature in the oven will not only do the trick, but also make it easier to clean the oven and mold after cooking;
  4. If you prepare for the recipe in advance, marinate the meat a little in a soft marinade, then the cooking time will also be shortened, and the taste of the product will also improve. As a rule, even the most complex and time-consuming dish will not take you much time, you can keep within an hour;
  5. Rule one - fillet marinade. The sauce will not only saturate the meat with aromas, but also saturate the fibrous breast, that is, in fact, it will act as a fatty meat layer during baking;
  6. Rule two - the chicken breast can be either cut lengthwise, opening the lid, or beaten off to reduce the cooking time. If the recipe for the dish requires fine cutting, then the chicken must be cut across the fibers;
  7. Rule three - oily or acidified marinade. A good sunflower or vegetable oil, with lemon juice, soy sauce and garlic will do magic. For a milder taste, you can use kefir, onions with tomatoes;
  8. Rule four - spices. If you are a novice culinary specialist, choose ready-made seasonings that are already balanced in taste. But chicken meat is a compliant product, so you can use any spices, from cinnamon and honey, to rosemary, ginger or mint;
  9. The fifth rule is proper baking. It is recommended to place the meat only in a preheated oven, for no more than half an hour, otherwise there is a possibility of overdrying the fillet. The leaner you want your dish, the less fat you use in cooking.
