Despite the simplified procedure, the dish turns out incredibly appetizing. To give it more juiciness and tenderness, we recommend adding gourmet mayonnaise. For those losing weight and watching their figure, we advise you to take sour cream or low-fat cream. Ingredients:
- seasonings (for example, black or red pepper, dried oregano or others)
- small purple bulb
- two medium fresh chicken fillets

- delicacy mayonnaise - for lubricating meat
- fine salt salt - to taste
- 150-170 grams of hard cheese
- two tablespoons of vegetable oil to treat the baking sheet
Method of preparation:Rinse the fillet well, then remove any excess film, if necessary, and fat. Then take a knife and cut the chicken across the grain into small pieces, no more than one centimeter thick. Beat each with a special hammer, add salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly so that the spices are evenly distributed. Now treat the baking sheet with oil and put the meat on it. Fold it carefully so that each piece fits tightly against each other, so you get a solid layer of chicken. Apply a thin layer of mayonnaise on it, if you are worried about your figure and try to eat right, take sour cream. And if you want, you can try another very appetizing impregnation recipe: whisk the cream with a small spoon of delicate mustard. Treat the meat with the resulting mixture. The dish will be very piquant and tasty. Then peel the onion, after chopping it into thin rings, lay it on top of the chicken. Now pour mayonnaise over the food again, garnish with pineapple rings and sprinkle with grated cheese. Be sure to drain the canned fruit and dry it beforehand, otherwise the dish will be too watery. By this time, the oven should be hot enough - put the baking tray in it and set the timer for 30 minutes. After the specified time, check the dish. Try the chicken: if it is soft and golden brown, take out your creation, let it cool down a little and only then serve. Boiled rice will serve as an excellent side dish, mashed potatoes are a more caloric product. However, baked chicken prepared according to this recipe goes best with fresh vegetables or light salads.

The next recipe is not too differentfrom the previous one: practically the same ingredients, a fairly simple cooking procedure and a relatively inexpensive set of products.

- 630 grams of chicken fillet
- ½ fresh lemon
- 200 grams of canned pineapple without juice

Before you look forward to the meal and happily gobble it up, you need to make it first. The recipe is very simple and accessible to everyone, and this is a great reason to get to the stove for the first time — just what novice cooks need. So if you decide to teach your child to cook, master the following dish that does not require any special skills or abilities. So, peel the washed fillet from the film, then divide each breast into two or three parts, making a neat horizontal cut with a knife. If you want the meat to be more tender, you can lightly beat it with a hammer. Now place the resulting chicken plates in a deep bowl, sprinkling them with a mixture of salt and ground pepper. As for the latter, we recommend using black or white. Add the prepared seasoning here and mix the ingredients thoroughly so that the meat is well saturated with spices. If desired, you can add one and a half teaspoons of melted honey. Then the dish will turn out quite original, with a slightly sweet taste. Some housewives process the breast with grainy mustard, but these are completely different recipes, which we will consider next time. Tighten the chicken with cling film, while it is infusing, make a dressing. To do this, combine the creamy sauce with freshly squeezed lemon juice, if you want to give it an unforgettable aroma, we recommend adding a crushed clove of garlic, or better yet, dried oregano. There is another way: thoroughly knead with your hands or grind the leaves of fresh basil with a mortar and add them to the sauce. Beat the products with active movements of the whisk. Exactly the same dressing can be made from regular cream, the cooking procedure is exactly the same as described above. There is a little left: grate the cheese on a medium grater. Drain excess nectar from the pineapples, and chop the fruit itself into large pieces or use them whole. Well, now the most interesting part — let’s start assembling the dish. Grease a foil-lined baking sheet or ovenproof dish with vegetable oil, put the chicken fillet in an even layer, and top it with a fragrant creamy sauce. The second “floor” consists of pineapples, which should completely cover the meat so that there are no empty spaces between the chicken pieces. Put the dish in a preheated oven and cook at 200 degrees. After about 20 minutes, take the dish out, sprinkle the dish with cheese and keep it in the oven for another five minutes. Before serving, cut into portions and garnish with fresh herbs or onions, chopping them with a knife in advance. If you want the meal to be more filling, cook round-grain rice as a side dish or make a light vegetable salad.
