Not many people like to bake chicken in the oven: especially fillets. Typically, the meat is dry and requires a lot of sauce to correct the flavor.
I had the same thing: until I tried this dish - chicken breast with cheese, baked in the oven. Don't judge strictly: my family loves chicken pieces, but only if they are in a salad, pate or soup. And with this recipe, the whole family began to simply adore chicken fillet from the oven. It turns out to be a kind of casserole, with two types of cheese - this is the best thing that can be prepared from chicken meat. Just imagine: juicy, tender meat under a cheese crust. I only do it on holidays: it’s quite inexpensive, but your figure may suffer.
How to cook “Chicken fillet with cheese crust”
1. Cut the washed chicken breast into small pieces.
2. Mix the meat with a tablespoon of vegetable oil, salt, ground pepper and dried rosemary. Place the breast in the bottom of a baking dish.
3. Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater.
4. Pour the cream into the bowl with the cheese and stir.
5. Place the resulting mass on top of the chicken meat in the pan in an even layer.
6. Place the mold in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees for 20-30 minutes to form a crust.
7. Wash and chop the greens.
8. Remove the finished meat from the oven and cut. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Chicken chops are very easy to prepare. But we will complicate the task a little and prepare chicken chops in a crispy cheese crust. First you need to beat the eggs in a deep bowl.
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
Then mix the grated cheese with breadcrumbs.
We cut the chicken breast into fillets and beat it with a knife or meat mallet.
There is no need to beat the chicken too much, because... chicken fillet is very tender. Don't forget to salt and pepper each piece.
Dredge the fillet in flour and then in beaten eggs. The egg mass falls more evenly onto the flour layer. Then roll the chop in cheese and breadcrumbs.
Place breaded chicken chops in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil and fry on both sides until golden brown.
It is enough to fry the chops for 3-4 minutes on each side. Otherwise the meat will become dry.
The finished chicken chops are tender and juicy, and topped with a crispy cheese crust. Serve the chops garnished with herbs and vegetables.
Bon appetit!
Chicken fillet in a crispy cheese crust - it even sounds delicious, right? This dish can be prepared for both the family for dinner and for the holiday table. The chicken pieces are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I give the recipe to the readers of the site “Family Notes”.
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken fillet (breast or thigh);
- 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs);
- 1 finely chopped rosemary sprig, without stem;
- 3 thyme sprigs, stem removed and finely chopped;
- 40 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese;
- 1/4 cup wheat flour;
- 1 large egg;
- 3 tbsp. l. cold pressed olive oil;
- 4 minced garlic cloves;
- 1 finely chopped onion;
- 800 g canned tomatoes;
- 2 tbsp. l. tomato paste;
- 2 tsp. dried oregano;
- 1 tsp. salt;
- black pepper to taste;
- 80 g grated mozzarella cheese;
- 450 g spaghetti;
- finely chopped parsley leaves for garnish.
Chicken fillet breaded with semolina
Step 8
While the meat is marinating, let's start breading. Today we will use two types: breadcrumbs and regular semolina, and at the same time we will compare which breading crust will turn out to be more ruddy after frying the fillet. I use homemade breadcrumbs, but you can also use store-bought ones.
Step 9
30 minutes have passed. Is the meat marinated? Great. Dredge the fillet pieces in breading on both sides.
Step 10
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat well over medium heat. I have a frying pan with a thin bottom, so I will heat it for one minute.
To check if the oil is hot enough, throw a small piece of bread into the pan. The oil sizzles, which means it is well heated and ready to fry.
Step 11
Place breaded chicken fillet pieces into a frying pan and fry until golden brown over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
The frying time for each frying pan is very individual, plus you need to take into account the fact that chicken meat cooks very quickly, so it makes sense not to go far from the stove and control the degree of browning of the breading.
After about a couple of minutes, turn the fillet over and fry on the other side, and at the same time see which breading gives a more golden brown crust. Well, of course, the fillet rolled in breadcrumbs turned out more rosy and appetizing.
Step 12
This is such a delicious fan we got. As many as six pieces of chicken fillet in different breadings from one chicken breast. In our impromptu browning competition, the breadcrumbed fillet won. But fillet breaded with semolina is not far behind. Anyone who uses it regularly knows that it is very tasty and has a funny crunch. And browning the semolina breading is very simple; just add some finely ground spices, such as turmeric or sweet paprika.
Place the fillet on a beautiful dish and serve for dinner, and at the same time remember the whole cooking process:
- We cut the chicken breast into fillets, cut out the bone, separate the small fillet, and remove the skin if desired. We divide each piece of breast into slices (thinner pieces of fillet).
- We marinate the fillet in soy sauce, spices, and adding a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Roll both sides in breading and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown for 1-2 minutes. The exact frying time depends on the quality of the pan.
- Breaded chicken fillet is ready! Place on a large platter and serve.
We cut off the treasured piece of chicken meat and try it..mm..it turned out very tender and at the same time juicy, and the lack of a large amount of spices does not overwhelm the pure taste of chicken meat. The dish is served in combination with any side dish: cereals, vegetable salads or homemade pickles. Agree, it’s very simple to prepare, but even with all its simplicity, without any frills or complications, the dish is very tasty and will look decent even on a festive table!
Chicken fillet in cheese - general cooking principles
• Chicken fillet in cheese is baked in the oven or fried in a frying pan.
• It is recommended to take chicken chilled. When thawing, frozen fillet loses a lot of moisture and dishes made from such meat turn out dry.
• Chicken fillet for cooking in cheese is cut into pieces of various sizes and sizes; the cutting method depends on the specific recipe chosen. Large pieces of chicken are beaten with a culinary hammer to soften its fibers and give the slices the desired shape. Often the meat is ground in a meat grinder and products already formed from minced chicken are fried in cheese.
• For both baking and frying, it is best to use fatty hard cheeses. They melt well and cover the products with an appetizing crust. The cheese is crushed with a grater; the size of the cheese shavings can vary - from the smallest to the largest. Cheese is rarely used on its own; in most cases it is mixed with a certain type of dry breading or liquid batter ingredients. In this case, cheese is added instead of flour. Sometimes ready-made hot dishes are sprinkled lightly with cheese. In this case, the cheese does not form a fried crust, but melts and becomes viscous.
• Nuggets, chops are prepared from chicken fillet in cheese, or a whole fillet with cheese is baked in the oven. Dishes are served with both fresh vegetables and side dishes, which you select yourself. The most successful are mashed potatoes and boiled rice.

Recipe for chicken fillet in cheese crust:
- Rinse the meat well with cold water. Beat it off lightly.
- Grate the cheese.
- Separate the white from the yolk.
- Salt the fillet and add spices. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
- Beat the whites into foam.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and grease it with oil. You can use a grid.
- The chicken is first dipped in protein, then rolled in cheese.
- Lay out the fillet and place in an oven preheated to 240 °C. Cooking time 25-30 minutes.
To make the crust crispier, select the “convection” mode. Serve the fillet hot.
With cheese in breadcrumbs
We combine some breadcrumbs and coarsely grated cheese; you can add herbs or a mixture of spices to make it more piquant. Wash the chicken fillet and cut into strips. Beat a little for softness. Beat the egg with a fork. Pour some flour into a separate plate. Roll the chop in flour (you can add salt to it, by the way), then add the meat to the egg mixture. Shake it off a little and add it to the cheese and breadcrumbs.
Heat a frying pan with vegetable or olive oil (you can fry the garlic a little in it or add a sprig of rosemary/thyme). As soon as the oil is well heated, place the breast in a fur coat and fry until golden brown on all sides. Serve with boiled potatoes and vegetable salad. If the chops are being prepared for guests, they can be fried and reheated in the oven before serving.
