It can be very different with the addition of all kinds of spices, flour, cheese, herbs, crackers, etc. It is also important to use chilled meat rather than ice cream. And if, nevertheless, it is necessary to use an ice-cream product, then it must be properly defrosted, i.e. for a long time, on the bottom shelf of the freezer.

Oven Bread Chicken Chops
1. Rinse the chicken fillet under running water and dry with a paper towel. Cut them lengthwise and beat off a little on both sides with a kitchen hammer. Do not beat hard so that the meat does not become too thin, otherwise it may burn. Use the side of the hammer with the teeth, it is intended specifically for meat. To prevent a lot of splashes when beating, which can stain the work surface, cover the meat with cling film.
2. Whisk the eggs into a bowl and loosen them until smooth. Add salt, pepper, ginger powder to the egg mass and add any spices if desired. Pour crackers into another flat plate. You can use crackers purchased or of your own preparation. To do this, dry the bread in an oven and grind it into crumbs using a blender.
3. Take chicken meat and dip it into the egg container. Swirl it around so that it is evenly covered with the mixture.
4. Transfer the fillets to the breadcrumbs and turn over several times so that the meat is completely sealed with crumbs. Do the same procedure again. Dip the meat in the egg mass and bread with breadcrumbs.
5. Place the fillets in breadcrumbs in a baking dish.
6. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and bake the meat for 20-25 minutes. Do not keep it longer. Fillet is tender and thin meat that cooks very quickly. If you overexpose it, it will become tough, rubbery and dry.
7. Serve freshly cooked chops. For lunch, you can boil mashed potatoes with them, and cut a fresh vegetable salad for dinner.
