We’ve all been there. The clock strikes 5 pm, the fridge looks like a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and the chorus of “I’m starving!” echoes through the house.

Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg chicken fillet (around 2.6 lbs)
  • 5 chicken eggs
  • 100 g sour cream
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 250 g hard mozzarella cheese, grated
  • Vegetable oil for cooking
  • Salt, dried ground garlic, chicken seasoning, and dried ground sweet paprika (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken fillets generously with salt, dried ground garlic, chicken seasoning, and paprika.
  2. Brown the Bird: Heat some vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken fillets and cook until golden brown on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  3. The Eggy Trio: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 5 eggs, sour cream, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Tomato Time: Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the pan and set it aside. Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, letting them release their juices.
  5. The Grand Assembly: Return the browned chicken fillets to the pan with the tomatoes and onions. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Cheese Nirvana: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the entire dish.
  7. Baking Bliss: Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. This allows the eggs to set and the cheese to become beautifully melted and golden brown.
  8. Serve and Savor: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This French-inspired chicken dish is perfect on its own or with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

So, ditch the complicated recipes and give this French chicken dish a try. With its ease of preparation and explosion of flavor, it’s sure to become a new favorite in your kitchen!
