Chicken breast with cheese

Chicken breast with cheese can be a real family favourite, and despite its simple preparation, it is a very filling and tasty dish. I personally love crispy chicken covered in toasted cheese and this recipe did not disappoint. I've made it several times and it's always a big hit.

Directions

50 min.
1. Step

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. This is an important step, because if you bake the chicken in a cold oven, the texture will be chewy and tough.

2. Step

Wash the chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Then season with salt and pepper and sprinkle both sides with paprika and thyme.

3. Step

Grease a baking pan with olive oil and crush the garlic cloves. Note that you should also use the garlic as it really brings out the flavour of the chicken.

4. Step

Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet and sprinkle with the grated cheese. I often use two types of cheese, because mozzarella has a softer texture and emmental gives the dish a piquant flavour.

5. Step

Bake the chickens in the oven for about 30 minutes. Be careful not to overdry the meat, the baking time should be just long enough to brown the cheese and brown the chicken inside.
