Chicken fillet in a sleeve in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake chicken fillet in a sleeve in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. If the chicken fillet is large, then two breasts are enough. If the pieces are small, take three. Then you will get three servings at once. If you don't have a fillet, but a whole breast on the bone, then you can just cut it in half and separate the fillet from the bones.

2. Step 2:

   

   Thoroughly rinse and dry the chicken fillet with paper towels. I also usually cut off the fat layers along the sides of the fillet and remove the thin films around the meat.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rub the chicken on all sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Provencal herbs. !!! If you have a mixture of Provencal herbs, then read the composition of this mixture. If there is already salt and pepper in it, then you should not salt and pepper the chicken additionally - it will be too spicy and salty. There was nothing in my mixture except herbs, so I separately salted and peppered the meat.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sprinkle the fillet with ground sweet paprika on top and leave the meat to marinate for 30 minutes.

6. Step 5:

   

   Put the chicken in a baking sleeve and pour vegetable oil inside it. Tie the ends of the sleeve tightly on both sides. I did it with twine. On top of the sleeve, make several incisions with scissors or a knife to release steam. Try not to make incisions on the sides, because during baking, juice will be released from the chicken, which will pour out through the side incisions. This will contribute to reducing the humidity in the sleeve and drying the bird.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the chicken sleeve on a baking sheet or in a baking dish. Bake the chicken fillet in preheated to 200 °In the oven for about 30-35 minutes. Determine the exact time and temperature of baking according to your oven.

8. Step 7:

   

   Remove the finished chicken fillet from the oven, carefully, so as not to get burned by steam, cut the sleeve from above and open. Transfer the chicken to plates and serve. Enjoy your meal!
