Do not make chicken at home before seeing this recipe! This dish is perfect for a family lunch or dinner, and it’s incredibly easy to prepare. Follow these simple steps to create a mouthwatering chicken dish that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts
- Olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 eggs
- 150 grams (about 1.5 cups) mozzarella cheese, grated
- 100 grams (about 1/2 cup) heavy cream
- 1 tomato, sliced
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Cut the Chicken: Start by cutting the two chicken breasts into small cubes. This helps the chicken cook evenly and absorb the flavors better. Make sure the pieces are bite-sized for the best results.
- Season the Chicken: Place the chicken cubes into a container. Add a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of paprika, a teaspoon of oregano, and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings. Let the chicken sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 2: Cook the Onion
- Saute the Onion: In a pan, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and stir while it cooks until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized. This adds a sweet and savory depth to the dish.
- Combine with Chicken: Add the cooked onion to the seasoned chicken and mix well. This step ensures the onions infuse their flavor into the chicken pieces.
Step 3: Prepare the Baking Dish
- Grease the Dish: In another pan, add some olive oil and spread it using a culinary brush to grease the entire surface. This prevents the chicken from sticking to the dish.
- Add Chicken to Dish: Place the seasoned chicken with onions into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- Beat the Eggs: In a container, add three eggs and beat them well with a fork or whisk. This creates a rich, creamy base for the chicken.
- Add Cheese and Cream: Add 150 grams of grated mozzarella cheese and 100 grams of heavy cream to the eggs. Mix well to combine. Season with a teaspoon of salt and mix again. This mixture adds a creamy, cheesy layer to the dish.
- Pour Over Chicken: Pour this mixture over the chicken in the baking dish, spreading it out to cover the chicken completely. Ensure the mixture seeps into all the nooks and crannies for maximum flavor.
Step 5: Add Tomatoes
- Slice the Tomato: Cut a tomato into thin slices.
- Top the Chicken: Place the tomato slices on top of the chicken and egg mixture in the baking dish. The tomatoes add a fresh, tangy flavor and a splash of color.
Step 6: Bake the Dish
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. The dish is ready when the top is golden and the chicken is fully cooked. The cheese should be melted and bubbly.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Check for Doneness: Remove the dish from the oven and check that the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve: Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delicious and easy chicken recipe with your family.
