1
Wash and peel the breasts, stuff them with two or three finely chopped garlic cloves, rub with salt on all sides, and lightly pepper.
- Garlic: 2 pieces
- Chicken fillet: 2 pieces
- Ground black pepper: to taste

For baking chicken breasts in the oven, choose a dish with high sides – a frying pan or a saucepan. Grease the dish with olive oil, place the breasts in it, and fill the empty space with chopped onion.
- Olive oil: to taste
- Chicken fillet: 2 pieces
- Onion: 1 head
3
Pour in 100-150 grams of cream with at least 20% fat so that the cream slightly covers the onion.
- Cream 20%: 100 g
4
We squeeze half a lemon into the cream
- Lemon: 0.5 piece
5
We cut the potatoes into circles and arrange them.
- Potato: 3 pieces
6
We season with salt and pepper to taste
- Ground black pepper: to taste

Place the dishes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees, on the rack just below the middle level.
8
The breasts will bake for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, we grate the cheese, take the dish out of the oven, and generously sprinkle our meal with cheese.
- Cheese: 100 g

In this case, the cheese will act as a plug for the chicken breasts that have absorbed the juices. We bake for about 15 more minutes, during which the cheese usually turns golden.
