Fillet - the most delicious and tender part of the chicken. It can be cooked in different ways: in the oven, in a pan or steamed, and of course, in a slow cooker.
Soups cooked with chicken fillet are easy and nourishing. Broth on this meat is recommended even for therapeutic nutrition.
Main dishes with chicken fillet can be baked and stewed separately, or with vegetables. To make the meat juicy, it is cooked with sauces or gravy.
Before baking, the fillets are recommended to marinate so that the meat does not turn out to be insipid. You can bake it in foil, sleeve, or just putting it in the bowl.
