  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make potato nests with chicken? Prepare the necessary products. I have chicken breast fillet. You can take fillets from the thigh or shin, then the filling will be juicier.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Pre-peeled potatoes cut into small pieces. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. To check if the potatoes are cooked, pierce a piece of vegetable with a knife. If it is soft, then the potatoes are ready.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Drain all the water from the potato and use a potato masher to crush it until the lumps disappear. Cool the mashed potatoes.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Pre-peeled onion cut into small cubes.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Fry the chicken fillet on a slightly higher than medium heat until golden brown. This will preserve the juiciness of the meat. In the process of cooking, add salt to the fillet, add ground black pepper (or any spices to taste). Stir so that the pieces are fried evenly.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Wash the parsley, dry it, chop it finely. Instead of parsley, you can take dill or not add greens at all.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Combine chicken fillet with herbs, mix.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Beat an egg into the cooled mashed potatoes. To make the potato mass more stable, add flour. Mix everything well until smooth.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12.

    It is convenient to form "sockets" with the help of a pastry syringe or a bag with a nozzle. Or you can cut off a corner of a dense bag and squeeze the potato mass through it. Place potato nests in the form of round baskets on a baking sheet covered with parchment. Pre-lubricate the parchment with vegetable oil.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13.

    Fill potato nests with chicken fillet filling.

    Step 16.

    Bake the formed baskets in a preheated oven to 190C for 20-25 minutes. The potato mass should be compacted and the cheese should melt.

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17.

    Serve potato nests with chicken hot. Bon appetit!

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

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 !

So that the oven has time to heat up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance (10-20 minutes before the start of cooking).
