Stuffed Chicken Fillet - Tips and Tricks
• When frying the fillet is put only in a well-heated oil. Otherwise, the breading will be saturated with fat, it will be tasteless, it may peel off. If you need a dish then under the lid, then it is done only after a coup to the other side.
• Beating fillets with a hammer will make the chicken much more tender and the product will absorb sauces better. Also, this technique well increases the size of the fillet and allows you to lay more stuffing in it.
• In order to evenly distribute the filling in the rolls, it is not necessary to form the products alternately. Immediately lay out all the pieces on the table, lay out the stuffing and only then begin to twist.
• Fillet will be much tastier and juicier if you put a piece of butter inside with a filling. You can also use bacon or flavor the filling with fat sour cream.
• Fillet loves different sauces and marinades. Before stuffing, you can pour the chicken with soy sauce, grease with mayonnaise or soak in some juice, for example, orange.
