Step by step cooking chicken chops with tomatoes and cheese in the oven, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the chicken fillet and dry well with a paper towel. Use a sharp knife to cut lengthwise to make 3 chops. Use a hammer to beat each piece on both sides. This will soften the meat fibers and the chop will be juicier.
2. Place the chicken chops in a baking dish. Season it with salt and ground pepper. Use your favorite spices and herbs as desired. You can also brush the chop with a thin layer of mustard or soy sauce. This will add spice and flavor.
3. Wash and dry the tomatoes with a paper towel. Slice them into 0.5mm round rings and place them on top of the chicken chops.
4. Place a slice of cheese about 3 mm thick on top of the tomatoes. If desired, you can grate the cheese and sprinkle the meat with shavings.
5. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the chops to bake for 25-30 minutes. Watch the time to avoid overdrying the chops. When moisture evaporates on the baking sheet, remove the chicken chops with tomatoes and cheese from the oven and serve.
