Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake chicken fillet with champignons in the oven? Prepare your ingredients. I used young onions (the white part), but you can use regular onions. Peel off its husks. To prevent onion juice from irritating your eyes so much when slicing, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. Cut into thin rings.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse fresh mushrooms thoroughly to remove any soil. Place on a kitchen towel. It is important to dry the champignons well, otherwise, once saturated with moisture, they will become watery. It is enough to rinse small mushrooms well; it is better to clean larger ones by removing the films from the caps. Also cut off any darkened sections on the stems. Cut the mushrooms into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour vegetable oil with a high smoking point into the frying pan and heat well. You can tell if the oil is hot enough. Dip a wooden spatula into it, if bubbles gather around it, then you can begin the frying process. Add the onions and mushrooms and fry them until soft over medium heat. Salt and pepper to taste.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse the chicken fillet well under running cool water. Dry with paper towels. Remove films. Cut into small pieces. Transfer the meat to a bowl, pepper, and add seasoning to the chicken. Stir, cover with cling film and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Before using ready-made spices, be sure to read the ingredients. If there is already salt in the mixture, take this into account when you salt the meat, otherwise you risk over-salting.

5. STEP 5

   

   Choose delicious hard cheese (for example, “Russian”, “Emental”), the main thing is that it is tasty and melts well in the oven. Grate it on a fine grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Take a high-sided pan suitable for the dish. Any heat-resistant glass, ceramic, silicone, or metal mold will do. Place half of the fried mushrooms and onions on the bottom.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the chicken on top and distribute it evenly over the mushrooms.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place remaining mushrooms over chicken.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour them with sour cream of any fat content. Remember, the calorie content of the dish will depend on the degree of fat content of the products you use. You can replace it with cream or thick natural yogurt.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sprinkle grated cheese on top.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bake the dish in the oven for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees. How to check readiness? The cheese will melt and the chicken will brown on top. The pulp should be easily pierced with a knife and clear juice will flow out. The dish looks incredibly appetizing - with a baked cheese crust and a pleasant aroma! Before serving, sprinkle the fillet with chopped herbs (dill, parsley). Serve hot. As an accompaniment, prepare a salad of fresh vegetables.
