Cheese and Tomato Chicken Fillet

I like to cook fast and delicious dishes in the oven. Today I want to suggest you bake chicken fillet with tomatoes and cheese. The meat is very tender and delicious, with an appetizing golden cheese crust on top. Fresh tomatoes make chicken fillet especially juicy and soft, meat just melts in the mouth. The chicken fillet prepared in this way will be suitable for both everyday menu and holiday table. For the recipe you can use any cheese that melts well in the oven: Russian, Edam, Gouda or mozzarella. Any side dish can be offered to this baked chicken – mashed potato, grilled vegetables or fresh salad.
