Oven baked chicken breast with tomato and cheese

Cooking time: 45 minutes.

Servings: 4

If you want to cook a quick, beautiful and tasty, but at the same time, not too complicated dinner for a family, then we suggest that you quickly bake a chicken breast with tomatoes and cheese in the oven. The most important thing is to marinate the breast in advance so that the meat is well saturated with the sauce. In the absence of a lot of time for pickling, thirty minutes will be enough.

• 
  Remove the skin from two chicken breasts and separate the flesh from the keel bones. To speed up the process, you can buy ready-made chicken fillets. Divide the breasts into 4 portions, wash and pat dry. Salt each piece a little and sprinkle with black or red ground pepper and (or) other seasonings for chicken.
• 
  Finely chop the green parsley, add to the chicken in a bowl, cover everything with soy sauce and mix well. Soy sauce is very salty, so you don't need to add salt to the meat. Leave the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or maybe a couple of hours.
• 
  Cut the cheese into small slices (3-4 mm thick), taking into account that no more than 4 pieces will fit in each chicken fillet. Take any cheese, both hard and softer varieties are suitable. Cut the tomatoes into thin slices.
• 
  When the meat is well marinated, make deep oblique cuts in each fillet, and in them "pack" cheese and tomatoes, as shown in the photo.
• 
  Place the fillet with cheese and tomatoes on a baking sheet or in a deep baking dish. Grease a baking sheet or dish with vegetable oil so that the fillet does not burn.
• 
  Crush the garlic cloves with a press or chop and mix with sour cream. Spread the sauce over the breasts in a thin, even layer.
• 
  Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, and then send the form with the breasts there. Bake the dish for about 35-45 minutes (depending on how your oven bakes). During baking, the heat can be reduced to 190 degrees. Serve the chicken breast, baked with cheese and tomatoes, hot and hot - this way the dish will be the most juicy and very tasty!
