Still wondering what dish to cook for the New Year? So I'm at the right place! Today we will make very simple ingredients and execution, but at the same time appetizing, tasty, juicy, soft, aromatic and satisfying chicken breast chops with wild mushrooms and onions under a cheese cap. This second dish will take its rightful place on the holiday table!
If you don’t have wild mushrooms, it doesn’t matter: champignons and oyster mushrooms will completely replace them. Just fry the mushrooms thoroughly, then the taste and aroma will be special. I haven’t tried replacing chicken breast with fillets of other parts of the carcass, but then I advise you to cook them longer. Take absolutely any cheese to your taste, but remember that it must melt well. And so there are no secrets - let’s quickly cook delicious chicken chops with mushrooms!
Ingredients:
(700 grams) (500 grams) (1 piece ) (150 grams) (100 grams) (50 milliliters) (0.25 teaspoon) (1 pinch)
Cooking the dish step by step with photos:
First you need to deal with mushrooms (I have a mix - boletus, boletus, boletus, chanterelle and boletus). If you have them fresh or frozen, first boil the mushrooms and strain off the excess liquid. Pour refined vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it and add boiled mushrooms. Fry over medium heat without a lid.
At this time, peel and finely chop the onion - preferably into cubes, but you can also use half rings if you prefer. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover with a lid and cook over medium heat until the onion is soft. Then remove the lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms and onions turn golden and the moisture has completely evaporated. You don’t need stewed mushrooms, but fried ones! So golden brown, a little crispy from the toasted barrels...
While the mushrooms are frying, start cutting up the chicken breast. Depending on its size, we will focus on the number of servings. I get an average of 12 pieces, 2 of which are filet mignon (the most tender part of the chicken breast, which, naturally, goes to children). We cut the breast across the grain at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.
Now the pieces need to be beaten off. To do this, place them on a cutting board and cover with cling film or a plastic bag. This way, small pieces of meat will not scatter all over the kitchen and, at the same time, will not stick to the hammer. You don’t need to beat the chicken breast too hard, the meat is tender. Just flatten it a little with a hammer.
The mushrooms are fried...Can you feel the aroma? Remove the pan from the heat and leave for now.
We will be cooking chicken chops with mushrooms and cheese in the oven, so take a baking sheet and cover it with baking paper (so that you don’t have to wash the baking sheet later, but just throw away the parchment). We put the chopped pieces of chicken fillet - just 12 pieces fit into a standard baking sheet.
Now place mushrooms, fried with onions, on top of the meat. My little one doesn’t eat mushrooms yet, because the older one has not yet appreciated their taste, and it’s still too early for the younger one to indulge in such a difficult-to-digest product. Therefore, 2 pieces without mushroom filling - adults will get more.
This delicious recipe for cooking chicken breast in the oven with cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes was sent to me by reader Irina Sapunova from the city of Amvrosievka, Donetsk region.
“I have a good friend. We have known each other since childhood. We got married a month apart and became pregnant at about the same time. The doctors gave us preliminary due dates with a difference of a month and a half. And we were admitted to the maternity hospital for preservation during the same period.
All the doctors and nurses knew us as friends. According to the indications, both had to give birth on their own. My friend's due date has long passed. The doctors persuaded her to artificially induce labor. I'm patiently waiting for my turn. Something went wrong with them and they had to do a caesarean section. My goddaughter was born strong and healthy.
My friends and I decided to celebrate this event accordingly. My friend found it very boring in the recovery room and decided to dictate her interesting recipes to me over the phone. I decided to treat my girls to one of them. I prepared chicken breast in French style.
In the evening, when the girls gathered to congratulate their friend on her daughter, and me and my goddaughter, thanks to my “pregnant appetite,” I ate to my heart’s content. We also started talking about my birth. I started playing smart, saying that I’ll give birth in exactly a week, that’s what I need, you see. They say I don’t want to wait for the appointed day, since it falls on a weekend. And the hospital staff “rests” on weekends, so to speak, without being embarrassed by the fact that this weekend is not for them.
But my son did not listen to me or the doctors, who confidently stated that I was due, and straight from the table he took me to the maternity hospital for a caesarean section. It so happened that on the eve of this day I was quite nervous. This influenced the smooth course of my pregnancy. And with placental abruption I ended up on the operating table. The anesthesiologist asked standard questions, such as “what did you eat?”, “What did you drink?”
When I answered that I was only because of the festive table, one might say, I saw sincere surprise on the doctors’ faces. But she didn’t ask anything, there was no time for that at all. And only the next day I learned from the nurses that the anesthesia might not have worked, since before the operation you cannot eat for at least 5-6 hours.
So my beloved friend and I ended up in the same room. We laughed at this story for a long time. My son is already a year old. And while we are on a diet. But for some reason I’m sure that chicken breast in the oven in French will be his favorite dish."
