Chicken thighs with tomato sauce and cheese in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients: Grind the tomatoes in their own juice into a puree. Since there were no bread crumbs on the farm, instead I dried slices of white bread and ground them into crumbs.

2. STEP 2

   

   For the sauce. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

3. STEP 3

   

   Fry the onion and garlic in vegetable oil until soft.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the grated tomatoes (I additionally rubbed them through a sieve) and simmer until a thick sauce. At the end, season the sauce with salt, sugar, herbs (fresh or dried to your taste).

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the skin from the chicken thighs and cut out the bone. To get the bone, we make deep cuts along the bone, insert a knife under the bone and separate it from the meat. If desired, each thigh can be cut into 2 parts.

6. STEP 6

   

   Let's start breading. Take 3 bowls, break 2 eggs into one, beat them lightly with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Pour flour into another bowl, and breadcrumbs into a third (I added a little grated Parmesan to the breadcrumbs, but this is not necessary). Lightly season the chicken with spices, roll in flour, then in egg and breadcrumbs.

7. STEP 7

   

   Fry in a frying pan until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the meat. Place the fried chicken in a suitable form.

8. STEP 8

   

   Top each piece with sauce.

9. STEP 9

   

   And sprinkle with grated cheese (choose the type that melts well), put the pan with the chicken in an oven preheated to 200 for a few minutes to melt the cheese. Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Bon appetit!

very good dish for dinner. Any side dish will suit these legs. crushed potatoes or boiled buckwheat. You can even have rice or fried potatoes. All side dishes go well with chicken. plus a vegetable salad and you get a light dinner. For the sauce, instead of tomatoes, you can use tomato paste and any of your favorite spices. Bon appetit.
