Chicken fillet with champignons in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake chicken fillet with champignons in the oven? Prepare the ingredients. I used a young onion (the white part of it), but you can take an ordinary onion. Peel its husks. So that when slicing onion juice does not irritate the mucous membrane of the eyes so much, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. Cut into thin rings.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash fresh mushrooms thoroughly from the soil. Put it on a kitchen towel. It is important to dry the champignons well, otherwise, after being saturated with moisture, they will become watery. Small mushrooms should be washed well enough, larger ones should be cleaned better by removing the films from the caps. Also cut off the darkened sections on the legs. Cut the mushrooms into small cubes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour vegetable oil with a high smoking temperature into the pan and heat it well. It is very easy to understand whether the oil has warmed up enough. Lower a wooden spatula into it, if bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process. Put the onion and mushrooms and fry them until soft over medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Step 4:

   

   Rinse the chicken fillet well under running cool water. Dry with paper towels. Clean from the films. Cut into small pieces. Put the meat in a bowl, pepper, add seasoning to the chicken. Stir, tighten with cling film and send it to the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Before using ready-made spices, be sure to read the composition. If there is already salt in the mixture, take this into account when you salt the meat, otherwise you risk over-salting.

5. Step 5:

   

   Choose a delicious hard cheese (for example, "Russian", "Emental"), the main thing is that it is delicious and melts well in the oven. Grate it on a fine grater.

6. Step 6:

   

   Take a form with high sides suitable for the dish. Any heat-resistant glass, ceramic, silicone, metal mold will do. Put half of the fried mushrooms and onions on the bottom.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the chicken on top and spread it evenly over the mushrooms.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the remaining mushrooms on the chicken.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour sour cream of any fat content over them. Remember, the calorie content of the dish will depend on the degree of fat content of the products you use. You can replace it with cream or thick natural yogurt.

11. Step 10:

    

    Sprinkle grated cheese on top.

12. Step 11:

    

    Bake the dish in the oven for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees. How to check readiness? The cheese will melt, and the chicken will be browned on top. The pulp should be easily pierced with a knife and clear juice will flow out. The dish looks incredibly appetizing - with a baked cheese crust and a pleasant wafting aroma! Before serving, sprinkle the fillet with chopped herbs (dill, parsley). Serve hot. As an accompaniment, prepare a salad of fresh vegetables.
