Chicken fillet in sour cream in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake chicken fillet in sour cream in the oven? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use the chicken as boneless, skinless fillets like I did, or you can take a couple of whole chicken breasts with bones and skin on and cut them in half. But in this case, the baking time may increase. Take sour cream that is not very watery, with a fat content of 15-20%

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken fillet and dry. You can make diagonal cuts on each fillet with a knife. Rub the chicken meat with chicken spices, salt and pepper. When using a prepared spice mixture, be sure to read the ingredients on the package. Often such mixtures already contain salt and pepper, take this into account, otherwise you risk oversalting and peppering the dish.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion, cut into half rings or small cubes, as you like. Cutting will not affect the taste of the dish.

4. STEP 4

   

   Finely chop the garlic with a knife.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. You can use any cheese, as long as it melts during baking, forming a golden brown crust.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, add the onion and garlic and fry, stirring, over medium heat until the onion is transparent.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place chicken fillet in a baking dish. Distribute fried onions and garlic on top.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour sour cream over everything. Thanks to sour cream and cheese, the chicken breast will retain its juiciness - after all, it is so easy to dry it out when baking. And the sour cream and cheese crust will prevent excessive evaporation of moisture from the chicken.

9. STEP 9

   

   And sprinkle grated cheese on top. Bake chicken breasts in sour cream in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 40-45 minutes. If you have bone-in breasts, then a little longer. An appetizing golden brown crust should appear on the surface. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven. Bon appetit!

Great recipe! No need to stand in the kitchen for a long time. One, two and done! I cooked chicken fillet in sour cream in the oven for only 15 minutes, the oven assistant did the rest. I cooked one serving in a cocotte maker, but did not add onions for my own reasons. I cut the fillet and rubbed it with spices. I took seasoning for chicken, but didn’t add salt. I put the fillet in the cocotte maker, poured it with sour cream, took 15% as recommended by the author, sprinkled it with gaisin cheese and baked for 40 minutes. All! A gorgeous dish is ready! I served chicken breast in sour cream with vegetable salad. The meat turned out juicy and tender, cut into slices well. The sour cream soaked the chicken perfectly, and the cheese made a great crust. The dish is amazingly tasty and appetizing! Thank you!

It turned out delicious. But I was convinced that it was best to pound the chicken breasts, because it turned out a little dry.

Thanks for the recipe! I made it for the first time today. I liked it, and the preparation is simple, which is important for me - I don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking. In a clay container, at a temperature of 180, baked for about 55 minutes.
