Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make French-style meat from chicken fillet? Prepare the products. You don't have to put tomatoes if you don't have them, it's not a mandatory ingredient. Instead of mayonnaise, you can take sour cream. Take the cheese that melts well. I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic, if you want fresh, then take two cloves.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the meat with a paper towel. Next, cut the meat into small pieces and beat them off.
Step 3:
Put the fillet pieces in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and spices, add garlic (dry or fresh chopped) and mix everything well. Leave to marinate, if there is time, then for two hours. If not, up to ten minutes will be enough.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut into rings.
Step 5:
At the bottom of a suitable mold, lay the chopped onion in a layer. I don't lubricate the form with anything.
Step 6:
Lay out the beaten chicken meat in the next layer.
Step 7:
Next comes a layer of tomatoes, cut into large circles.
Step 8:
Completes everything with a layer of grated cheese mixed with mayonnaise. This is my life hack so that the upper crust does not become too hard. Usually they make a layer of mayonnaise, and cheese on top. Try to mix them, it will turn out very tasty! Bake in the oven until ready, focusing on your oven. I baked at 200C.
In this way, you can bake not only chicken, but also other meat: beef, veal, pork, even fish. See only the cooking time, the meat needs more time to bake well. They also make such a dish with minced meat.
In addition to tomatoes, you can put a layer of mushrooms. If these are champignons, then just cut the clean mushrooms into plates. If these are forest mushrooms, then pre-boil them.
If you make one layer of potatoes, then you will not need to prepare an additional side dish. To do this, cut the peeled tubers into thick rings and cook them a little, five minutes after boiling. Pre-boiled potatoes are better baked.
Meat is cooked in French in almost every family, both for dinner and for a festive table. And, despite the name, its roots go back to the recent Russian past. This dish was invented by a French chef who served Count Orlov. It consisted of veal, mushrooms and potatoes baked in layers with bechamel sauce under an appetizing cheese crust. Gradually, mushrooms and potatoes disappeared from the dish, mayonnaise was used instead of bechamel. But still it remained the same delicious and beautiful.
Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
Any heat-resistant mold is suitable for this recipe. If you use a silicone mold, then you do not need to smear it with butter or margarine. But it is better to lightly lubricate metal, ceramic or glass dishes with vegetable oil so that the baking does not burn.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting

Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
