Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake chicken medallions in the oven? Prepare your ingredients. It is better to take chilled chicken fillet, it will make medallions juicier and tastier. If it was frozen, first defrost it according to all the rules. Read about it at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash and dry the chicken fillet. Cover each fillet with cling film and beat the inside of the piece. The cling film will help prevent the meat juice from splashing.

3. STEP 3

   

   Using a pastry ring, cut medallions from the fillet. Or you can do it simpler (this is what I did with the second breast): first cut the fillet across the grain into slices about 5 mm thick and only then beat them on one side.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place chicken medallions on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Instead, you can take any odorless vegetable. Sprinkle the medallions with salt and ground black pepper. Add your favorite spices and seasonings if desired.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the medallions in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20-25 minutes. I held it a little longer to get a golden crust.

6. STEP 6

   

   You can make a delicious sauce for medallions. Prepare food for him. It’s better to look for fresh thyme, on branches, but if you don’t find it, take dried one. But olive oil is still preferable.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the thyme and dry it. Remove the leaves from the branches.

8. STEP 8

   

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, zest, thyme leaves, pressed garlic and sea salt. To zest a lemon, wash it thoroughly with baking soda to remove any dirt and wax that is often used on the fruit. Grate the skin of the lemon on a fine grater, being careful not to touch the white layer, it will be bitter.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix all ingredients. The sauce is ready.

10. STEP 10

    

    Transfer the finished chicken medallions to a plate, pour over the sauce and serve with any side dish. Bon appetit!
