Don't think that the recipe for this dish is universal. In fact, there are so many options for its preparation that you will need a lot of time to try each recipe in practice. However, we suggest you try some of them. Although this is far from all, each recipe is good in its own way. Surely you will like something. So, all you have to do is choose a recipe and get started. Let's try?
Chicken fillet in foil
The recipe is surprisingly simple!Absolutely anyone can cook this dish, and the chicken itself will be juicy and flavorful. By the way, if you prefer tasty but light food, then chicken cooked this way is what you need. Ingredients:
- 2-3 pieces of chicken breasts;
- Spice;
- Salt.
Preparation:White chicken meat is considered dietary. However, not everyone can cook it so that the meat turns out juicy. However, chicken breast in foil will definitely turn out like that. So, turn on the oven and leave it to heat up to 200-220 degrees. Carefully remove the white chicken meat from the bones and beat it lightly. By the way, if you do not have a special hammer, you can do this with an ordinary knife with a heavy handle. Now take the foil and unwind a piece to lay out the meat on it. Sprinkle the foil with salt and spices and lay out the chicken pieces on it. Sprinkle the meat with spices and salt. By the way, you can use spices to your taste. The easiest option is to take ground black pepper. After that, wrap the meat in foil so that it is in a practically hermetic package. Only in this case will the chicken turn out juicy. Place the packed fillet on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for twenty to thirty minutes, then remove the chicken from the foil and place it on a plate. Serve with any side dish (to taste).
