Preparation
1. This dish can be prepared from thigh fillets, breasts or legs. We wash the chicken parts, remove the fillet from the bones using a knife and cut into medium-sized pieces. Place on a plate or bowl.
2. Cut half of the juicy tomato into squares and place on the fillet.
3. Peel the onions, chop them not very finely with a knife and add them to the plate with the chopped ingredients.
4. Peel the clove of garlic, divide it into 2 parts with a knife and place it cut side down on the board. Cover the halves with the wide side of the knife, press with your palm and flatten. Finely chop and place on a plate.
5. Pour the prepared products with oil, salt, add black and hot red peppers.
6. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. During this time, vegetables and meat will be well saturated with the aroma of garlic.
7. After 30 minutes, divide the aromatic mixture of vegetables and chicken fillet in half. Place the chicken and vegetables into portioned clay molds (2 pcs.) and distribute evenly. Place the molds in the oven, preheated to 210 degrees, and cook for 25-30 minutes until the chicken fillet is completely cooked.
8. Remove the finished aromatic dish from the oven. Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater.
9. Sprinkle the prepared shredded cheese over the finished meat and vegetables and cook for about 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and lightly browned.
10. Take out the delicious tender chicken with tomato and cheese, place the molds on thick napkins and serve with a hot side dish and vegetable salad. This chicken goes great with a salad of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers with chopped onions, cilantro and unrefined sunflower oil.
- The dish will be even more flavorful if the mixture of meat and vegetables is supplemented with spices or dried herbs. Rosemary, oregano or thyme are good herbs; chicken seasoning, sweet paprika, ground coriander or turmeric are good spices.
- To add more creamy flavor to the chicken, add sour cream (1 tbsp) to the meat and vegetables.
- Using this principle, chicken can be cooked with zucchini, eggplant, celery root, broccoli or cauliflower.
- To prepare the dish, you can use not only fillets, but also small parts with bones. Chicken wings (4-5 pieces) are perfect. We cut the wings into phalanges, remove small parts (the first phalanges). Place the chopped parts on a plate and continue as per the recipe.
This is one of my favorite chicken fillet recipes. Although the dish is not quick to prepare, the result is worth the effort. The dish turns out simply “yummy” and the good thing is that it can be prepared in large portions, because even when heated it has an excellent taste and aroma.
YOU WILL NEED:
Chicken breasts - 3 pcs., tomatoes: 4-5 pcs. (medium size), parsley, curry seasoning, salt, garlic clove, vegetable oil - 1-2 tbsp. spoons.
LET'S PREPARE:
If you are not a “kapushka”, then you can skip the preparation stage; all of the above steps can be done while the chicken fillet is being fried. I prefer to prepare all the components in advance.
This time I got three large chicken breasts. The three of them weigh 874 grams, i.e. one half of a large chicken breast weighs about 250-300 grams
. This is for those who are interested in the weight of the chicken breast.
Cut the chicken meat into small cubes, generously sprinkle with seasoning, salt and mix thoroughly. That's it, the fillet is ready for cooking.
Another thing it is advisable to do in advance is to peel the tomatoes. To do this, it is advisable to blanch them first, or simply pour boiling water over them and then clean them in an elementary way. For these purposes, I take a small saucepan, place the tomatoes in it and pour boiling water over it, after 3 minutes I take it out and calmly peel it.
Here are the already peeled tomatoes. Just in case, I threw them on the scales and as you can see, their weight was 649 grams, that is, the weight fraction of tomatoes in the recipe is only a quarter less than chicken fillet
. That's how it should be.
COOKING CHICKEN FILLET WITH TOMATOES
Heat a frying pan and pour a little vegetable oil onto it. Don’t pour too much, it’s only needed so that the fillet doesn’t stick to the pan in the first seconds. Therefore, 2 tablespoons - “with the head”. When the oil is hot, add the prepared chicken fillet and stir it in the pan for about a minute and a half. After this, turn the heat to medium and let it fry without a lid.
Literally in about three minutes, the meat will release juice and a kind of stewing process will take place. We need this liquid to evaporate, so we don’t cover it with a lid. In the meantime, the meat reaches the desired condition, you can finely chop the tomatoes, prepare the herbs and garlic.
This is the result we expect. Once the excess liquid from the fillet has evaporated and the meat is starting to brown, add the tomatoes. Mix them with the fillet, another minute, reduce the heat to “small, closer to medium” and cover with a lid. From this moment until complete readiness will take about 20 minutes.
Stir the frying ingredients every five minutes to prevent them from burning. After a while, you will see that the tomatoes have completely softened and are tomato juice. Therefore, it was necessary to separate their pulp from the peel (the peel does not dissolve). Now you need to taste the gravy “for salt” and add salt to your taste.
The salt with which you salted the fillet will not be enough and therefore you need to add more salt. Just don’t overdo it: keep in mind that the tomato evaporates and it will become smaller in volume, unlike salt.
From the moment you add the tomatoes to the chicken until the tomato juice begins to thicken, it will take about 15 minutes. Make sure that the water from the tomato does not evaporate too much. When hot, the gravy should be only slightly thicker than tomato juice.
Has the tomato started to thicken? We move on to the final stage of cooking: squeeze out one clove of garlic (more is too much) and add chopped herbs (parsley). Stir, simmer over low heat, covered, for 1-2 minutes and turn off.
The dish is ready! Remove the lid from the pan and be stunned by the delicious smell of a mixture of curry and parsley, supported by a light note of garlic aroma. We try and enjoy the most delicate taste of a small piece of chicken fillet that melts in your mouth, shaded by a barely noticeable sourness of tomato juice.
Mmmm... finger lickin' good!

Chicken fillet with tomatoes and cheese in the oven

By the way, boiled rice or vegetable salad is suitable as a side dish.

Recipe 7: Chicken breast chop with tomatoes
- chicken breast – 0.5 pcs (or 250 g fillet);
- tomatoes – 2-3 pcs;
- small onion – 1 piece;
- cheese with at least 50% fat content – 100-120 g;
- mayonnaise – 3 tbsp. l;
- salt - to taste;
- ground paprika – 0.5 tsp;
- ground black pepper - 2-3 pinches per chop.
Be sure to let the frozen fillet thaw naturally; do not try to speed up the process and defrost it in hot water or in the oven. Drain the liquid, refresh the meat with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Now it is ready for cutting. I removed the flesh from the chicken breast and cut off the narrow edges. After trimming, I got an almost square layer, which I cut in half in height. I beat each piece with a wooden hammer.
Advice. To ensure that the slices are uniform in thickness, when slicing, hold the piece with your palm and keep the knife parallel to the surface of the cutting board. When beating meat or chicken, place a plastic bag or film on top; the fibers will be less damaged.
I salted it, sprinkled it with a pinch of ground black pepper on one side and added a little paprika for more aroma and taste. Since we love spicy food, I added a little more chili.
I put the pieces in a mold, covered the top with thinly sliced onion half rings, peppered them a little more and left them to soak in the spices. Turned on the oven.
After 15 minutes, when the oven had warmed up to 180°C, I brushed the onion layer with mayonnaise. Don’t use a lot, 1-1.5 spoons are enough per piece. I’m generally not a fan of baking anything with mayonnaise, but it comes in very handy in this recipe for oven-baked chicken chops.
Placed slices of ripe fleshy tomatoes on top of the mayonnaise. I added salt and pepper. And put it in the oven, preheated to 180°C. No cheese. I’ve been doing this for a long time, the cheese is now of such quality that while the chops are baking, it will turn into a hard sole. Therefore, first we bake the chicken fillet with tomatoes until almost done, then add the cheese.
Everything will be ready in 15-20 minutes. Take out the pan and sprinkle the chops with a heap of grated cheese. It is advisable that it be spicy and quite fatty, otherwise the cheese will not melt, but will dry out. We return it back for five minutes.
By the time I took a few shots, the cheese was no longer as tender and chewy as it had just come out of the oven. The photo does not show how the cheese strings stretch when cut. But take my word for it, the taste of the finished dish was amazing!
Despite the simplicity of preparation, an excellent result is guaranteed. The main thing is not to dry out the chicken chops with tomatoes and cheese in the oven; watch the temperature and time. As soon as it is ready, serve immediately with or without a side dish. Bon appetit!
