Oven baked chicken with cheese and tomatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make baked chicken with cheese and tomatoes in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. The ideal option would be to take chicken breast fillets. Choose any cheese to suit your taste, the main thing is that it grates well and melts easily. The taste of the cheese itself will add its own flavor to the finished dish.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the chicken fillet lengthwise into 2 parts. Cover the chicken with cling film and pound it lightly with a kitchen hammer. The film will prevent chicken meat from being damaged and will help it maintain its shape when beating.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sprinkle chicken chops with a little salt and spices to taste. I added paprika as a spice. But you can take something to your taste - it could be a ready-made set of spices for chicken or aromatic herbs.

4. STEP 4

   

   For baking, you can use any heat-resistant form. Since a large composition of the filling is not planned, you can take a low form or baking sheet for baking. Grease the pan with vegetable oil and place the prepared chicken on it.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse the tomatoes in running water, dry and cut into slices. Place the chopped tomatoes over the chicken.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grate the cheese and sprinkle it liberally over the entire surface of the chicken and tomatoes. Place the pan in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for 25-30 minutes. The times are approximate, please be guided by the operating characteristics of your equipment. Read more about ovens in the separate article at the end of this recipe.

7. STEP 7

   

   The finished dish will begin to brown a little, and a little juice will appear from the chicken. Remove the pan from the oven, place on plates and serve hot. Fresh vegetables are the perfect complement. Bon appetit!

I really liked the recipe because it was quick and easy to prepare. A minimum of time is what you need in the summer heat. I took a fresh chicken fillet and beat it with a hammer, covering it with a bag. I sprinkled the chicken with chicken seasoning, it contains salt, pepper, and paprika. I chose a firm and ripe tomato and cut it into circles. I took Gouda cheese, it’s tasty and melts well, I grated it coarsely. I placed tomatoes on the beaten chicken fillet, sprinkled it with cheese and baked it on deco for half an hour in the oven at 180 C. The baked chicken with cheese and tomatoes in the oven turned out to be very tasty, appetizing and satisfying. The meat came out juicy thanks to the tomatoes, and tender due to the beating. A wonderful dinner. Everyone really liked the dish. I served the chicken with mashed potatoes. Great recipe) I advise everyone to try it. Thanks to the author!

This dish seems to take you back to a distant magical childhood. Juicy and tender chicken baked with cheese and tomatoes is a great option for dinner in a warm, homely atmosphere. Chicken breast according to this recipe is a win-win option. It turns out very soft due to the juice that the tomatoes give it and amazingly aromatic due to Provençal herbs and cheese. And besides, the dish turns out to be satisfying and very inexpensive. In summer you can use ground tomatoes, but in winter you won’t find better than plum cherry tomatoes. You can also successfully add dessert tomatoes. They are slightly larger in size than cherry tomatoes. And their taste is just as real and rich. Believe me, the combination of summer, non-plastic tomatoes with the taste of chicken meat will not leave anyone indifferent. For baking, I always use semi-hard or hard varieties of cheese. As a rule, this is Tilsiter. It is moderately spicy to be felt in the finished dish, melts perfectly and gives a wonderful color. As a side dish for this chicken, in my opinion, fluffy mashed potatoes with butter are ideal. Serve with fresh vegetables and herbs. Thanks for the recipe!

It’s easy and quick to prepare, and I’m very pleased with the results. The only thing is that I cut the breast not horizontally into large pieces, but vertically into small ones. This makes it more convenient to cook and then measure out how much to whom. I used two types of spices. I liked it best with the French Herbs mixture.
