How to cook chicken legs in the oven stuffed with meat and mushrooms
Essential Ingredients:
- large whole chicken leg - 2 pcs.;
- canned champignons - half a jar;
- large chicken egg - 1 pc.;
- white wheat bread - 2 large slices;
- large onions - 2 heads;
- 3 percent fresh milk - 100 ml;
- fat cream - 200 ml;
- hard cheese - 50-70 g;
- fat mayonnaise - 2 full large spoons;
- sea salt and ground black pepper - add to the filling to taste.
Main Product Processing
Before stuffing chicken legs, you should purchase 2 large legs and wash them thoroughly. At the same time, you should make sure that the skin of the product is not damaged or punctured, otherwise you will not be able to start it. Then the ham must be carefully separated from the skin, preserving its integrity as much as possible. As a result of such actions, you should get a kind of "stocking", which should be put aside for a while.
Cooking toppings
You can stuff chicken legs with completely different ingredients. We decided to use the meat of the ham itself and add other ingredients to it. For this, poultry meat needs to be separated from the bones, and then chopped in a blender along with onions. After that, you need to put large chicken egg, white wheat bread soaked in milk, as well as sea salt and allspice.
Shaping and baking dishes
Stuffing chicken legs is quite easy and simple. To do this, you need to place the minced meat yourself cooked in the peel, and then press a few small canned champignons into the soft filling and sew the base with thick culinary threads. Next, the legs need to be wrapped in foil and placed in the oven for a quarter of an hour.
To make such a meal as tasty and fried as possible, after the specified time it is necessary to remove it, remove it from the foil and grease it with plenty of greasy mayonnaise. After this, the legs must be laid out in a baking dish and pour in creamy sauce. To prepare it, mix fatty cream with grated hard cheese, and season with black pepper and salt. In this composition, the dish is required to bake until a ruddy and appetizing crust appears.
How to serve for dinner
After the stuffed chicken legs (photo above) are completely cooked in the oven, they must be laid out on portioned plates, and a hearty side dish of mashed potatoes, cereals or pasta should be placed next to it. It is also recommended to pour them on top with cream sauce from a baking dish. For such a tasty and aromatic dish, you should definitely serve wheat bread and a fresh salad of greens and raw vegetables.
