Step by step cooking of stuffed eggs with chicken and cheese:
1. Rinse the chicken fillet under running water, remove the foil and immerse in a pot of water. Add salt and cook on the stove. Boil, reduce heat and remove the foam from the surface of the broth. Continue cooking the broth for about half an hour until the meat is tender. For additional taste, you can add bay leaves, peppercorns and other aromatic spices when cooking the broth.
2. When the meat is cooked, remove it from the broth and leave to cool. You don't need the broth, so you can use it to prepare another dish.
