Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken fillet with cheese in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. For chicken fillet, use breast fillet. Choose the cheese to your taste, the main thing is that it grates well and melts easily.

2. STEP 2

   

   To prepare the filling, grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Add salt, ground pepper and paprika to it. Pass the garlic through a press. When adding salt, keep in mind that the selected cheese already contains salt. Mix everything.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the tomatoes, remove the stem and cut into slices.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the chicken breast fillet in half, not going all the way through, and open it like a book. Beat lightly. You can simply beat it with the edge of your palm or with a kitchen hammer. But do not overdo it, as the meat is very tender and can be easily damaged.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the cheese filling and tomato slices on the opened fillet. Add salt and spices to taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the filling with the other half and secure the edge with toothpicks.

7. STEP 7

   

   Dredge the fillets in starch, then shake off any excess. Pour vegetable oil into a hot frying pan and add chicken fillet. Fry it for 3 minutes on each side. Then cover with a lid or foil and cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side. How to choose a frying pan and oil for frying, read articles on these topics. There are links at the end of this recipe.

The recipe is great! The chicken in this version is tastier than regular chicken chops. I cook chicken fillet in sour cream without cheese.
