Chicken medallions
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The name "medallions" comes from the round shape of the pieces obtained when slicing beef or pork tenderloin. Yes, tenderloin specifically (a less active cylindrical muscle, whose structure allows for the most tender cooked meat). This time, we'll be using chicken fillet, so achieving a round shape through regular slicing won't be possible. Therefore, we'll need to approach the task with a touch of creativity. The finished dish is ready to be served.
