Step 1:
How to make chicken fillet in cream sauce? Rinse the chicken fillet well under running cool water. Dry with paper towels. Clean from the films. Cut it in half. Season with salt and pepper with ground black pepper or a mixture of peppers.
Step 2:
Pour refined vegetable oil with a high smoking temperature into the pan. Warm it up well. It is possible to determine that the oil has warmed up sufficiently in a simple way. Dip a wooden spatula into the oil. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the roasting process. Put the prepared fillets in a frying pan and fry over medium heat on all sides until a golden crust forms.
Step 3:
Prepare the sauce. Pour the cream into the container. Squeeze the peeled garlic cloves through a press. Add thyme and mustard. Mix everything together. Cream can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage of fat content of the product, the more caloric the dish will be. If you decide to add ready-made spices for chicken, read the composition on the package. Sometimes there is already salt in the mixture, keep this in mind when you salt the meat and sauce, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
Step 4:
Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater. Take the cheese delicious, not bland.
Step 5:
Lightly lubricate the heat-resistant mold with refined vegetable oil. Put the fried chicken fillet in one layer.
Step 6:
Pour the cream sauce evenly over the chicken.
Step 7:
Sprinkle with grated cheese
Step 8:
In order for the oven to have time to heat up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance, 10-20 minutes before cooking. Bake chicken fillet in cream sauce at 180 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. How to check the readiness of a dish? The chicken will be browned on top. The pulp should be easily pierced with a knife and clear juice will flow out. A lot of liquid is formed in the form, which can be used as a delicious gravy to garnish.

________________________________________________________________

Cream can be replaced with sour cream, milk or natural yogurt without additives.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
