Preparation
Step 1
Use chilled chicken fillet that hasn’t been frozen. If it was frozen, the meat will lose a lot of juice when thawed, and the cutlets will turn out dry. You can use red or yellow tomatoes - the key is that they’re flavorful.
Step 2
Slice the chicken fillet lengthwise into 2 pieces. Place each piece on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and pound it with a meat mallet. Why cover it? The plastic wrap prevents the meat edges from tearing and keeps splatters from flying around the kitchen.
Step 3
Prepare a baking sheet for roasting. Line it with parchment paper - not foil, as foil tends to stick to the finished dish and spoils its appearance. Arrange the pounded meat on the sheet. Sprinkle each piece lightly with salt and ground pepper. Spread a little mayonnaise on each cutlet.
Step 4
Rinse the tomatoes well, remove the stem area, and cut them into slices. Arrange the tomato slices on top of the prepared meat.
Step 5
Grate cheese on a medium or fine grater. You can use any cheese you like - just make sure it melts well.
Step 6
Generously sprinkle each cutlet with grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 30-40 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven. During baking, the meat will release juices and begin to brown toward the end. The cheese will melt completely and turn golden.
Step 7
Remove the cooked cutlets from the oven and place them on serving plates. Serve with fresh vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
