To cook meat in French with chicken and potatoes, take the following products.

While the chicken is marinating, cut the potatoes into thin slices, and the onions into half rings.
Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and lay out all the potatoes in layers, sprinkling it with your favorite spices. I used salt, sweet paprika, suneli hops, black pepper. And you take what is available. On top of the potatoes, you can lay out part of the onion, or you can spread it all out later.
Put the chopped onion, sprinkle with spices again. Put in a preheated oven. But if your form is made of glass, then the oven should only be warm. French-style chicken and potatoes should be baked at a temperature of 180 degrees until the onion is lightly browned, about 15 minutes. To insure the readiness of potatoes, you can cover the form with foil.
Grate hard cheese. Take any cheese, I have Parmesan, I like it spicy taste.
After 15 minutes, remove the form from the oven and sprinkle the dish with grated cheese. Keep in the oven until the cheese is completely melted and a golden crust appears on the surface. In total, the French-style meat is baked for 40 minutes.
This is the crust I got. Meat in French with chicken and potatoes is ready. You can immediately cut into portions and arrange on plates.

Step 1: prepare the chicken fillet.
First, we take a whole fresh broiler chicken fillet, rinse it under streams of cold running water, dry it with paper kitchen towels, spread it on a cutting board and with a sharp kitchen knife divide it into two even halves. After that, we rid them of the film, cartilage, as well as excess fat and cut each lengthwise into 2-3 layers about 2 centimeters thick.
Cover the chicken pieces one by one with plastic wrap. cling film and beat lightly with a kitchen mallet. You don’t need to be very zealous, it’s enough if their thickness decreases to one and a half centimeters, and the tissues soften. Then we grease the fillet from all sides with mustard, sprinkle with black to taste ground pepper, salt, a mixture of spices, send it to a bowl, tighten it with plastic cling film and put it in the refrigerator to marinate for 15–20 , although better 30 minutes.
Step 2: prepare mushrooms and onions.
In the meantime, using a clean knife, peel the onion, and remove the roots from each mushroom. Then these products are thoroughly rinsed, dried, moved to a clean board and chopped. Chop the onion into cubes or strips 1 centimeter thick. We chop the mushrooms in the same way as previous ingredient, or in layers with a width of 5 to 7–8 millimeters.
Step 3: Fry mushrooms and onions.
Now put a frying pan on medium heat and pour a little vegetable oil, one or two tablespoons is enough. After about a few minutes, we lower the chopped onion with mushrooms into the heated fat, season them with salt, black pepper to taste and bring to almost complete readiness. At first, due to the released juice, they will be stewed for about 10–11 minutes, but then they start to fry, not worth the hassle, as soon as these products are covered with a light golden crust, remove the pan from the stove and move on.
Step 4: prepare the cheese.
We remove the packaging from the hard cheese and chop it on a fine, medium or coarse grater into a clean, not very deep dish. Then turn on the oven to preheat 180 degrees Celsius and cover the bottom of a non-stick baking sheet or a large baking dish with aluminum foil.
Step 5: Prepare the chicken for roasting.
Then we take out the chicken fillet from the refrigerator and distribute it in one layer on the bottom of the prepared baking sheet or form. Put mushrooms fried with onions in equal portions on top of the meat, season them with mayonnaise, sprinkle with hard chopped cheese and proceed to the next, almost final step.
Step 6: French fry the chicken.
We still put raw dish into a preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, for which the meat will reach full readiness and be covered golden brown. As soon as this happens, we pull kitchen gloves on our hands, move the form with fragrant-smelling yummy to the cutting board, previously placed on the countertop, and give it the opportunity to cool slightly. Then, using a wide kitchen spatula, we distribute the chicken in portions on plates and invite the family to a meal!
Step 7: Serve Chicken French.
French-style chicken meat is served hot in everyday or holidays as a main course for lunch or dinner. It is served in portions on plates, before that, if desired, decorating each with fresh finely chopped dill, parsley, cilantro, basil or green onions. Since the chicken turns out to be slightly fatty, any unobtrusive side dishes will suit it, for example, mashed potatoes, salads, boiled or steamed vegetables, rice, cereals from various cereals, as well as pasta. Well, pickles and marinades will help refresh this dish. Cook with pleasure and enjoy homemade food!

Cooking features
Knowing a few secrets will allow you to cook delicious, juicy and fragrant French-style meat with mushrooms, which can become the main decoration of the festive table.
- Meat in French with mushrooms can be prepared from beef, pork, poultry. The main criterion for choosing a product should be its quality. It is desirable that the meat is from a young animal and has never been frozen. Large fibers, yellow fat, the dark color of the meat itself are arguments not in favor of buying.
- If you have only frozen meat in the refrigerator, but you still want to cook a dish, you can use it. However, you need to defrost it correctly. Correct defrosting can only be considered if you allow the meat to thaw in the refrigerator without immersing it in warm water without using the microwave.
- Mushrooms are also best used fresh. If there is a need to use frozen, they will have to be thawed. When using pickled mushrooms, they are usually washed and dried.
- Most recipes for meat in French with mushrooms involve the use of champignons, as these are one of the most affordable all year round mushrooms. However, if you replace the champignons with fresh forest mushrooms, the dish will only benefit from this by acquiring unique taste and aroma.
- The composition of meat in French necessarily includes cheese, but not everyone likes a hard crust. If you are one of those who prefers meat to be covered with soft spread cheese, rather than cheese crust, cheese before baking in the oven can be greased with mayonnaise or sour cream.
- If you are making meat in French from pork, then the baking sheet or form can be lubricated with oil, in other cases they need to be lubricated with oil.
- Mayonnaise or sour cream when preparing a dish of beef or chicken fillet it will take more than for pork meat in French.
- If you want to reduce the amount of fatty sauce and thereby reduce the total calorie content ready meal, you can bake meat in foil, opening it only 10-20 minutes before cooking.
