How do I make a chicken chop with tomato and cheese in the oven? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. For chops, a minimum set of spices such as salt and pepper is enough. But you can also add spices to your liking, such as dry garlic, paprika, curry, etc.

Wash the chicken fillet, dry. Cut each fillet lengthwise into two parts. Lightly beat the meat with a hammer on one side. At the same time, try not to damage the integrity of meat. Salt each piece, pepper and sprinkle with other spices as desired. The breast can be replaced with meat from the thigh, but in this case the calorie content of the dish may change.

Wash the tomatoes, dry and cut into circles.

Remove the mozzarella from the brine, dry and cut into thin circles. Mozzarella can be replaced with any cheese to your liking.

Wash the greens, dry. In a blender, combine basil, parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper. Whisk everything until smooth. The consistency can vary with olive oil from a dense paste to a half-viscous mass flowing off a spoon. Pesto sauce can be used ready-made shop.

Put the chicken breasts in a vegetable oil-greased baking dish. Spread the pesto sauce over the top of the chicken.

Top with 1-2 slices of mozzarella.

Lay 2 rounds of tomato on the cheese. Place the tin in the oven preheated to 180 ° C and bake for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked. The exact baking time depends on the features of your oven and the thickness of the chicken chops.

Transfer the finished chops to a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
