Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the listed ingredients. Use chicken breast fillet without skin and bones. Choose small bell peppers - multicolored is best; increase the amount to taste. For spices I use paprika, pepper, oregano, and thyme, but you can use your favorite chicken seasoning. I used a mild fermented cheese and a creamy spreadable cheese. Prepare a baking dish and preheat the oven to 180°C / 356°F.
Step 2
Core the bell peppers (mine were small, total weight 190 g / 6.7 oz), remove the seeds and cut off the stems. Rinse the peppers inside and out under cold running water. Slice them fairly thinly and lay them in a layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
Step 3
Rinse the chicken breast fillet under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Don’t use overly large breasts; if they’re big, cut them in half so they cook through in the stated time. Place the chicken on top of the sliced peppers.
Step 4
Mix the dry spices with salt and rub the chicken with this mixture.
Step 5
Peel the garlic cloves and dice them finely. Spread the garlic over the chicken.
Step 6
If the creamy cheese can be sliced, cut it into pieces and place on top of the chicken and garlic. If it’s hard to slice, just distribute it evenly over each piece of fillet.
Step 7
Grate the mild fermented cheese on a coarse grater and sprinkle it evenly over the chicken. Bake the chicken with bell peppers in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, until the cheese forms a golden, appetizing crust.
Step 8
Serve the finished chicken with baked peppers hot. Plate the cheesy chicken fillet and add the roasted bell peppers. This dish can be served on its own; for a more filling dinner you can offer potatoes.
