Chicken fillet with vegetables baked in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for cooking chicken fillet with vegetables, baked in the oven. If the fillet is frozen, defrost it at room temperature. But it is better to defrost the meat in the refrigerator for several hours. So the fillet will thaw gradually and release less juice. Cheese can be taken both hard and melted. Choose the fat content of sour cream to taste. If desired, it can be replaced with mayonnaise.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the chicken fillet under cold water, dry it well. Cut each fillet crosswise into 2 pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Beat off each piece of fillet with a hammer on both sides. Why beat off fillets? To soften the structure of meat fibers. Thanks to this, the fillet will be softer after cooking.

4. Step 4:

   

   Salt the fillet, sprinkle with herbs or any spices as desired and to taste.

5. Step 5:

   

   Place the fillets in a separate bowl, cover with a lid and leave for 20 minutes so that the meat is soaked with seasonings.

6. Step 6:

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. They must be rinsed well under running water and dried. Cut the pepper, remove the seeds and the green part. Cut the pepper into small cubes.

7. Step 7:

   

   Cut the tomato with a sharp knife also into small cubes.

8. Step 8:

   

   Wash the dill, dry it, chop it finely. You can use parsley instead of dill.

10. Step 9:

    

    Chop the cheese on a medium grater. It will fasten the vegetable filling and give it a delicate creamy taste.

11. Step 10:

    

    In a convenient wide container, combine vegetables, herbs and about 3/4 grated cheese. Add sour cream, add a little salt if necessary. If the cheese is salty enough, then you do not need to salt, especially if you use mayonnaise. Mix everything well.

12. Step 11:

    

    Grease the bottom of the mold with vegetable oil. Lay out the prepared chicken fillet. It is better to stack the pieces closer to each other so that there is not a large distance between them. So during baking, the fillet will not dry out from the edges and will be softer.

13. Step 12:

    

    Put the vegetable mass on each piece of fillet, pressing it a little.

14. Step 13:

    

    Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese evenly on top.

15. Step 14:

    

    Bake the chicken fillet with vegetables in a preheated 180C oven for 25-30 minutes until a light brown crust forms. Keep in mind that the cooking time depends on the specifics of the oven and may vary slightly.

16. Step 15:

    

    Serve chicken fillet hot with any side dish of cereals, potatoes or pasta. Bon appetit!
