If you have a chicken fillet and a set of basic products (salt/pepper, vegetable oil and butter, flour, breadcrumbs and eggs), you can already cook haute cuisine. And with the addition of other ingredients the possibilities for experimentation are simply endless.
Chicken breasts are a very interesting product for the foodie. It is easy to prepare, fairly neutral in taste – so when combined with different products you can create new compositions every time. Chicken fillet has a lot of protein and proteins, which is suitable for those who sit on a diet and actively build muscle mass. This is a very good product for children. To list the advantages of chicken breasts can be a long time. But let’s already move on to cooking. I have collected 30 recipes, which myself enjoy cooking and with which you can easily cope and you. These are appetizers, soups, and main dishes for every day and for special occasions.
Chicken Fillet Appetizers
This can be a full meal or a dense snack for watching soccer games. By the way, kids love nuggets and will never turn down such a lunch. For a “children’s” and dietary option, you can cook them in the oven instead of in a pan.
A classic of American cuisine. Spicy, tangy, with a rich flavor, they are quite hearty, although they belong to the category of appetizers. However, if you snack on Buffalo wings, you might as well give up on dinner. And in this version we used diced breasts instead of wings.
3. Crispy chicken sliders with honey.
Interesting, very simple and delicious. Such an appetizer would be perfect for a buffet or party.

8. Steamed chicken soufflé with olives.
The delicate, creamy flavor will whet your appetite and prepare your guests for main courses.
9. Julienne with chicken and mushrooms.
A classic hot appetizer attributed to its French roots. In fact, in French cuisine, julienne is a way of slicing vegetables thinly into straws. But some confusion in terms doesn’t make the casserole with chicken breast, mushrooms, and cheese any less delicious.
Chicken Breast First Courses
Very tasty, fresh and spicy at the same time, this is the perfect first course for summer. It’s even more appealing in the winter, though, because it helps transport you to the hot July, if only in fantasy.

The aroma of tarragon enhances the corn, and the chicken breasts make the dish very nutritious. A win-win option for lunch. Good for kids menu.

Did you know that pho is recognized as the most delicious soup in the world? It was awarded this status by CNN in 2011. And it’s really easy to make – try it and see for yourself.
6. Thai chicken soup with coconut.

Chicken Fillet Main Dishes
1. Hamburger with chicken filet, mushrooms and cheese sauce.
Although chicken is an unconventional solution for a burger, I like this option even more than the classic patty. Cheese sauce perfectly emphasizes all the ingredients, it’s just made for this flavor composition.

They even named the most famous French cooking school after this dish, where chefs from all over the world dream of studying. Cordon Bleu sounds loud, but it’s very simple to make. I’m sure you can do it.
If you have coped with cordon bleu, you can take up the domestic classics. The calling card of the Ukrainian capital is much harder to cook; you will have to practice to make the cutlets perfectly shaped and the butter inside spread when you cut it. But the taste is worth it.
