Fillet processing
Before you cook the chicken breast in a pan, it should be well processed. For this, white meat needs to be washed, skin removed and bones removed, and then the meat part should be divided into non-thick, but wide layers. If desired, they can be slightly beaten off with a hammer, but this is not necessary. Next, the fillet must be seasoned with black pepper, seasonings, spices and sea salt, and then set aside while the remaining components are processed.
Cooking toppings
Cooking chicken breasts in a pan does not take much time. After all, such meat does not require prolonged heat treatment. But to make the dish juicy and tasty, you need to make every effort. To create a flavorful filling, you will need to purchase
hard cheese and fresh cloves of garlic, and then finely grate them. After this, chop fresh herbs, add to the rest of the products and stir, adding medium-fat mayonnaise. As a result, you should get a rather thick mass with a pronounced smell of garlic.
Dish formation
Before you cook the chicken breast in a pan, it needs to be well stuffed with garlic and cheese mass. For this, wide slices of fillet must be placed on a cutting board, and then placed in the middle of the previously prepared minced meat and fasten the edges using toothpicks. If the meat turned out to be large in size and it is easily wrapped in an envelope, then toothpicks are optional.
Heat treatment
Juicy chicken breast in a pan cooks pretty quickly. To do this, all formed rolls should be dipped in a beaten egg, and then roll in ground breadcrumbs. After that, the stuffed fillet must be put in a heated bowl with oil and fry on all sides for half an hour. During this time, the dish is completely baked and covered with a delicious crust.
How to bring breasts to the table
Stuffed white poultry meat is recommended to be served hot with bread and a side dish of vegetables, cereals or pasta. If desired, such a dish can be cooled, cut into pieces no more than 1 centimeter thick and served as an appetizer for dinner.
