Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients to prepare chicken fillet with vegetables, baked in the oven. If the fillet is frozen, defrost it at room temperature. But it is better to defrost the meat in the refrigerator for several hours. This way the fillet will thaw gradually and release less juice. You can take either hard or processed cheese. Select the fat content of sour cream to taste. If desired, it can be replaced with mayonnaise.

Step 2
Wash the chicken fillet under cold water and dry well. Cut each fillet crosswise into 2 pieces.
