French chicken with mushrooms in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make French chicken with mushrooms in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Fillet of any part of the chicken will do - buy ready-made or cut the fillet from the bone. Take champignons that are white without stains, damage, or the smell of rot. They should not feel slippery to the touch. Small mushrooms are better for decoration. I took a large onion, but a small onion is quite enough. Cheese - any hard or semi-hard.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the fillet under running water. Cut into pieces 2-3 cm thick and wipe the resulting pieces with a paper towel. Beat the meat on both sides, there is no need to beat it too hard, the pieces should remain intact. Lightly grease the bottom of the baking dish with vegetable oil, place the prepared fillet there, salt and pepper. I used a mold measuring 25x20 cm.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the champignons, rinse and cut into slices 2-3 mm thick. Pour a little vegetable oil into a frying pan and fry the mushrooms over medium heat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel and chop the garlic in any way. I just chopped it with a knife. Distribute the garlic evenly over the chicken fillet and rub in a little.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion, rinse, cut into thin half rings and place on top of the garlic. To avoid irritating the mucous membranes of your eyes when cutting onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water.

6. STEP 6

   

   Fry the champignons, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until excess water has evaporated. Set aside a few mushroom slices for garnish.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the mushrooms in the next layer after the onions.

8. STEP 8

   

   Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and mix with mayonnaise.

9. STEP 9

   

   Apply a layer of cheese-mayonnaise mixture over the mushrooms and distribute evenly. Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees with “bottom only” mode for 30 minutes. Determine the exact time and temperature based on your oven.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the pan from the oven and distribute the champignon slices and tomato pieces. You can make flowers from tomatoes and olives, like I did. Place the dish back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, then switch to “top-bottom” and bake until the cheese cap is golden brown.

An excellent option for roasting chicken fillet. You can also add potatoes and it will come right with the side dish.

Classic French chicken made from chicken with mushrooms in the oven. I love French chicken for its simple preparation and pleasant taste, but with the addition of mushrooms the dish turned out even more interesting.

Thanks for the recipe, it turned out delicious. I tried to make it with dark meat, it turned out even tastier, so I advise you to use this kind of meat.
