4. Traditionally, chicken Kiev in the oven with mushrooms is prepared with onions, but in this case, onions are not used. If desired, you can slice an onion into thin half-rings and place it on top of the mushrooms. Transfer the fried meat to the baking dish and pour over the oil in which it was fried (since we did not grease the dish).

5. Lightly spread mayonnaise or sour cream in a thin layer. All that's left is to grate the cheese and sprinkle it on top. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake until golden brown, about 1 hour. I hope you'll enjoy this version of French-style baked meat with mushrooms.
