Chicken fillet with apples is an exquisite dish of Russian cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken meat and the refreshing tartness of apples. This combination of ingredients has long been used in Slavic gastronomy to give meat lightness and fruity notes. Baking layers of chicken and apples in the oven allows the ingredients to exchange aromas, creating a harmony of flavors. The fillet remains juicy, while the apples soaked in meat juice acquire softness and deep flavor. This dish is perfect for a cozy home dinner, especially in the autumn season when apples reach their maximum flavor richness. It can be served with a side of roasted vegetables or a light green salad, complementing and highlighting its natural balance.
