Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make chicken fillet with pineapples in the oven? Prepare your food. Fillet can be taken from both the breast and the thigh. The breast will be leaner. Pineapples will work either in rings or in pieces; you will still need to cut them. Choose cheese that melts well. Of the spices, curry is the best, I just couldn’t find it, I made do with salt and pepper. Other bright spices can draw attention to themselves, but this dish already has enough accents. But I recommend the curry.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the fillets with cold water and dry well with paper towels. Cut each fillet (if you took breast) into three steaks of equal thickness. Beat them off through film or bag. Why through them? To damage the tender chicken meat as little as possible during beating. Plus less splashing. Salt and pepper each piece.

Step 3

Step 3
Remove the pineapples from the jar and cut into small pieces, about two centimeters in size.

Step 4

Step 4
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

Step 5

Step 5
Take a baking sheet or large baking dish. Line it with parchment. Place the chicken fillet steaks, quite tightly to each other if the shape is not very large. I have a large baking sheet, it turned out wide. I’ll say a few words about paper separately. I didn’t like cooking with it, it’s better to use foil or not put anything on it at all. The meat stuck a little to the paper, and the paper itself became wet from the juice.

Step 6

Step 6
Lubricate each piece with a small amount of mayonnaise.

Place all the pineapples evenly on top.

Step 8

Step 8
Sprinkle the pieces with cheese.

Step 9
Bake the chicken fillet in the oven, preheated to 180°C for 45 minutes until golden brown.
