INGREDIENTE (pentru 3 portii)

• 3 jumatati de piept de pui
• 3 linguri faina de orez
• 1 ou
• 4 catei de usturoi
• 2 linguri ulei de masline
• ½ legatura patrunjel verde
• 2 rosii
• 200 grame de branza cu verdeturi sau cascaval
• Sare

Incepem prin a taia pieptul de pui in jumatati, astfel incat sa obtinem 6 felii potrivite ca dimensiune. Presaram cu sare si adaugam usturoiul zdrobit, patrunjelul tocat marunt si cele doua linguri de ulei de masline. Amestecam bine si lasam carnea la marinat cateva ore, ca sa se patrunda frumos cu aromele.

Dupa ce a stat la rece, trecem fiecare felie de pui prin ou batut si apoi prin faina de orez, pentru a obtine o crusta usoara si crocanta. Asezam bucatile pe o tava tapetata cu hartie de copt si dam la cuptorul preincalzit la 175°C pentru aproximativ 20 de minute, pana cand carnea este frumos rumenita.

Scoatem tava din cuptor si asezam pe fiecare felie de pui cate o felie de rosie si una de branza. Eu am folosit o branza cu verdeturi de la Timian, dar puteti opta si pentru cascaval, mozzarella sau orice alt tip de branza care se topeste bine.

Reintroducem tava in cuptor pentru inca 10 minute, de data aceasta cu functia de grill pornita, astfel incat branza sa se topeasca frumos si sa prinda o usoara crusta aurie. Puiul va fi fraged, branza topita si aromata, iar rosiile usor coapte aduc un contrast proaspat si suculent.

Se serveste cald, cu o portie de cartofi prajiti sau copti si o salata simpla. E o reteta rapida, care nu necesita ingrediente complicate, dar care impresioneaza de fiecare data.

Caprese Chicken Breast

Caprese Chicken Breast – a light dinner with summer vibes and farmhouse inspiration! When you’re not in the mood to cook anything complicated, but still want something tasty and beautiful, Caprese-style chicken breast is exactly what you need. Nicely browned, with garlic, parsley, and a touch of melted cheese over roasted tomatoes – it’s the kind of dish that works anytime, especially in the evening after a busy day.
It’s inspired by the menu at Timian Chalet, where meals are light, healthy, and made with care. So if you’re looking for something quick, but with summery vibes and real flavor, this is a recipe worth saving.

• 3 chicken breast halves
• 3 tablespoons rice flour
• 1 egg
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ bunch fresh parsley
• 2 tomatoes
• 200 g herbed cheese or semi-hard cheese (like mozzarella or gouda)
• Salt to taste

We start by slicing each chicken breast in half to get six evenly sized pieces. Season with salt, add the crushed garlic, chopped parsley, and olive oil. Mix everything well and let it marinate for a few hours so the meat absorbs all the flavors.

Once marinated, dip each chicken slice into the beaten egg, then coat with rice flour to create a light, crispy crust. Place the pieces on a tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (345°F) for about 20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Remove the tray from the oven and place a slice of tomato and a slice of cheese on top of each piece of chicken. I used herbed cheese from Timian, but feel free to use gouda, mozzarella, or any cheese that melts nicely.

Put the tray back in the oven for another 10 minutes, this time with the grill function on, so the cheese melts beautifully and forms a light golden crust. The chicken will stay tender, the cheese creamy and flavorful, and the roasted tomatoes will bring a fresh, juicy contrast.

Serve warm, with a side of roasted or fried potatoes and a simple salad. It’s a quick recipe with no fancy ingredients, but it always looks and tastes impressive.
