Chicken thighs with cheese
3 servings
35 minutes
Chicken thighs with cheese are a cozy and hearty dish of Russian cuisine that captivates with its tender taste and aroma. The idea of combining juicy chicken meat with melted cheese emerged as a simple yet exquisite home cooking discovery. Coating with mustard adds a spicy note to the dish, while baking in the oven makes it especially appetizing: the thin crust retains the juiciness of the meat, and the melted cheese forms a delicate, stretchy layer under the skin. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a cozy evening with loved ones; it is easy to prepare and does not require complex ingredients. It is served with vegetables or fresh bread, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
1
Be careful, use a sharp knife (a fillet knife is best for this) to separate the skin from the meat, leaving only the edges uncut. Place a piece of cheese under the skin (I used processed cheese 'Hochland cheeseburger' in slices, folding each slice in half).
- Processed cheese: 4 pieces

Then carefully, with a teaspoon, we coat the pieces of chicken with mustard (I used hot mustard).
