French chicken breast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken breast in French? Prepare the ingredients. Peel the cooled chicken breast, wash and dry with a paper towel. Cut the breasts lengthwise and pound them a little. The most convenient way to do this is to cover the meat with cling film or a bag. At the same time, pieces of meat will not fly around the kitchen. One piece of chicken breast yields 2-3 pieces.

2. STEP 2

   

   Heat the pan until hot. Pour a little vegetable oil on it and quickly fry the battered breast, literally 1-2 minutes on each side. Sprinkle the chicken lightly with salt and spices. Read about how to choose the ideal frying pan, as well as how to choose the right vegetable oil in separate articles, links at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cover a baking tray with foil and grease with vegetable oil. Place the fried breasts on a baking sheet. Peel the onion, finely chop and place on chicken pieces.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the tomatoes, dry them, cut them into pieces. Place tomatoes on meat. Then grease them a little with mayonnaise.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater and sprinkle it generously over the chicken breasts. Place the baking sheet with the meat in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for about 30-35 minutes. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, the link is at the end of the recipe. Remove the finished meat from the oven and serve hot. Bon appetit!

The combination of chicken meat with vegetables, mayonnaise and cheese is appetizing and very tasty! To pamper my husband and son, I decided to cook them a chicken breast in French. For this I took two small and not very thick breasts. I didn’t divide them into steaks; I wanted to make two good servings - large and filling. I beat the meat on both sides with the blunt side of a knife, salted it, put onions and tomatoes on the breast, added mayonnaise, and covered everything with grated cheese on top. I took a small onion, but limited myself to half, as well as half of a large tomato. This was enough to cover the meat completely. I baked the breasts until the cheese turned golden brown. The chicken turned out aromatic, soft and very juicy. The taste of meat soaked in vegetable juice under salty melted cheese is wonderful! Thank you very much for the recipe!
