Are there any forces in the world that can make chicken fillet hundreds of times more tender? We answer decisively: yes! And it is mozzarella. We have prepared a recipe for baked fillet under this young Italian cheese, which is used to make pizzas, casseroles, lasagnes, salads and all sorts of snacks. For us, mozzarella in this recipe is valuable because it melts perfectly and gives the dish a delicate milky flavor.
