Chicken fillet baked in the oven with tomatoes and basil

Chicken fillet is an extremely unpretentious meat in preparation. Before cooking, the chicken fillet must be thoroughly rinsed in cold water.
Chicken fillet is a record holder in the content of easily digestible animal protein, which is necessary not only for muscles, but also for the whole body as a whole for cell construction. The product contains B vitamins, especially a lot of B2, as well as iron, which maintains a high level of hemoglobin in the blood. Compared, for example, with chicken drumsticks, chicken fillet has four times less fat, so the product is excellent for dietary and fasting nutrition. I prefer to buy and cook fillets myself.
Here are some reasons to include chicken fillet in your menu.
Digested better than other types of meat
Meat dishes are recognized as the heaviest dishes, since they are digested longer than others (3-4 hours). At the same time, life without animal protein becomes much more complicated, and this is a very useful product. To kill two birds with one stone, choose chicken fillet: you will get all the necessary substances and will not burden your stomach. Only seafood is easier to digest.

Contains a complex of mineral substances
Iron, potassium, phosphorus, fluorine, sodium, sulfur, chlorine and calcium. How do you like this set? In addition, chicken meat contains a full complex of B vitamins and essential amino acids. This composition provides a fast metabolism.

Preserves muscle tissue
What is the problem of extreme (and not so) diets? Reduction of muscle mass. This means that not only adipose tissue is depleted, but also muscle. It simply breaks down without the necessary amount of substances, but this does not happen with a sufficient amount of protein in the diet. And there is plenty of it in the chicken breast!

Satisfies hunger
The body is able to convert everything into energy, and meat is one of the most nutritious foods. Despite the fact that chicken fillet is quickly digested, it leaves a feeling of satiety for a long time

Chicken fillet is ideal for pickling, so do not neglect marinades – they help to make chicken meat softer, tender and fragrant.

Marinade:
Chicken fillet (1 pc.) mode in small pieces, finely chop garlic to taste, add 2-3 tbsp sour cream, spices and salt to taste, I also added 1 tbsp soy sauce. Leave to marinate for about 1 hour

Preparation:
Grease the baking dish with oil (I used sunflower oil) spread the chicken fillet, tomatoes on top (I had one big one, cut it as you like. Sprinkle cheese on top (I rubbed it on a large grater, but you can also use a small one).

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, bake for 30-40 minutes .

Bon appetit!
