If you are watching your diet and trying to lose weight before the onset of the swimming season, then you will have to forget about muffins (in their classic form) for a while, or replace them with this unusual analogue. Chicken muffins consist of minced chicken and are complemented with spices, or vegetables, herbs, bacon, and cheese. The finished product contains a minimum of carbohydrates and a maximum of protein.
Chicken muffins with cheese - recipe
If you want to diversify the taste of chicken, then in addition to spices, you can use cheese. Different types of cheese will give different flavors to a dish.
Ingredients:
- chicken - 380 g;
- eggs - 2 pcs.;
- dried onion - 1 teaspoon;
- - 1/2 teaspoon;
- grated cheese - 85 g.
Preparation
Turn the chicken into mince and beat in the eggs. Add the spices from the list, followed by the finely chopped celery stalk. The final touch is grated cheese. Beat the finished mixture thoroughly with a blender to obtain a paste-like mass. Next, distribute the minced chicken into six wells of the muffin tin and bake everything for half an hour at 180.
Chicken muffins with mushrooms in the oven
Ingredients:
- cottage cheese - 65 g;
- grated cheese - 35 g;
- a handful of olives;
- champignons - 115 g;
- egg - 1 pc.;
- dried garlic and oregano - 1 teaspoon each;
- chicken fillet - 740 g;
- a pinch of paprika.
Preparation
After cutting the mushrooms, fry them, seasoning with herbs and salt.
To make the mixture more homogeneous, it is better to use a powerful blender. Whisk together cheese, chicken and cottage cheese. Salt everything and mix with the egg. Add mushroom pieces, a pinch of salt and paprika. Place the mixture, which has a mousse-like consistency, into six wells of the mold and place in the oven for half an hour at 180. Minced chicken muffins can be served hot or reheated before a meal; this will not affect the consistency of the dish.
If you have boiled chicken at your disposal, then you can also use it for muffins, using this recipe as a basis.
Ingredients:
Preparation
Separate the chicken into fibers and place them in the wells of a muffin tin. Whisk the melted butter with the egg and cream, then add the flour/baking powder mixture. Pour the finished dough over the chicken and bake everything for 20 minutes at 180 degrees. Sprinkle with parsley to finish.
I suggest you diversify your homemade chicken dishes. You can bake very tender and juicy muffins from chicken breast. This hot appetizer is quite simple to prepare. If not everyone knows what muffins are, then these are small portioned cupcakes. Usually, in our understanding, a cupcake is a large sweet pie, like a sponge cake, which is served with tea. But chicken muffins with cheese are small meat muffins that can also be served with tea, or as a cold appetizer.
Muffins with cheese and chicken are a very tasty and satisfying dish; they cannot be called baked goods and cannot be compared with a meat salad. You will spend very little time cooking, and the result will be amazing.
The maximum volume of ready-made muffin tins is 100 ml, there is also less - 50-80 ml. Therefore, you will not cut the finished products, but will end up with several ruddy meat muffins, which can be eaten both hot and cold with various side dishes and sauces.

How to make chicken muffins with cheese
To make muffins, use chilled chicken breast. The meat in the breast is tender and without streaks, it is perfect for this appetizer. Some housewives prepare this dish from boiled chicken breast.
Hard cheese will add piquancy to chicken muffins. Give preference to aromatic varieties, such as “royal” or “radomer”. In addition to hard cheese, I add half of the processed cheese to the muffins.
Chicken fillet for muffins can be chopped with a knife or passed through a meat grinder. Place the finished minced meat into a bowl.
Pour two chicken eggs into the meat in a bowl.
Pour a little milk (50 ml) or cream into the minced meat to make the muffins juicy in taste. Add two tablespoons of flour or semolina there.
Grate half the hard cheese and add to the dough. Cut the rest of the hard and processed cheese into small cubes and also add to the dough. Use dill and garlic as desired.
To make the muffins airy, you can add baking powder to the dough; half a teaspoon will be enough. Finally add a spoonful of olive oil, salt and spices to taste.
Place the finished chicken dough into silicone molds. If the molds are metal, then I recommend lining the bottom with parchment or grease them with vegetable oil so that the muffins do not stick.
In an oven preheated to 190 degrees, bake chicken muffins with cheese for 20 minutes. You may need to bake the cupcakes a little longer, depending on the size of your pans. To check the readiness of this hot snack, pierce them with a wooden skewer.

Chicken muffins are served warm or cold on a plate with lettuce leaves or fresh vegetable salad. Sweet and sour berry sauce or sauce based on mayonnaise or sour cream is suitable as a sauce for this dish.

Chicken muffins - general cooking principles
To prepare the dish, take chicken breast. Poultry meat is cut into small pieces or ground into minced meat in a meat grinder.
Onions, dairy products or soaked stale loaf crumb are added to the minced chicken for juiciness. To improve the taste characteristics, chicken is mixed with cheese, vegetables, and cottage cheese.
Filled muffins are prepared from pieces of raw breast meat. The slices are beaten well and placed on the bottom and along the walls of the molds so that there is free space in the middle for the filling.
If chicken muffins are prepared with dough, only boiled chicken, cut into small cubes, is added to it. Kefir is used as a liquid base for such muffins.
Chicken muffins are baked in molds made independently from foil or factory-made silicone molds. In order for the products to bake evenly and not dry out, the baking temperature should not be less than 180 degrees, or a little higher.
Chicken muffins can be served with a side dish or on their own; they are equally good hot or cold.

Juicy chicken muffins with mushrooms
Ingredients:
Two onions;
Half a kilo of fresh mushrooms (champignons or oyster mushrooms are suitable);
Medium fat cream, liquid – 100 ml;
2 chicken fillets;
Light soy sauce – 2 tbsp. l.;
Mixture of “Provencal herbs” - to taste;
Oil for frying;
Cheese, “Russian” variety – 120 gr.;
Six cherry tomatoes.
Cooking method:
1. Cut the fillet across the grain into slices up to half a centimeter thick. If the pieces are thicker, the muffins will not bake well. Place the chicken in a bowl and pour in the soy sauce. Season with ground pepper, add Herbes de Provence to taste, add a little salt and stir. It is important not to over-salt the meat; if you use dark soy sauce, do not add salt at all.
2. Wash the mushrooms well and dry, cut into small slices, and chop the onion with a heavy knife.
3. Heat one and a half tablespoons of sunflower oil in a frying pan, dip the onion in it and fry until slightly transparent.
4. Add chopped mushrooms and continue cooking on low heat until all the moisture has evaporated. When the mushroom pieces are slightly browned, add a little salt and pour in the cream.
5. After mixing well, simmer the mushrooms in the creamy sauce for about ten minutes. Mushroom frying should not be liquid. If necessary, extend the simmering time.
6. Muffin tins are not suitable for making these muffins; they are too low. You will have to make the containers yourself. Take a large sheet of foil, at least 50 cm long, and fold it in thirds to make a long strip. Place the glass on it, retreating about a third from the edge, and wrap it in foil. Without leaving any gaps, fold the free edge over the bottom of the glass and press firmly. Carefully release the resulting mold from the glass and thus make four more.
7. Place the marinated fillet pieces in one layer on the bottom of the prepared containers. Lay tightly, leaving no gaps. Then place the pieces of meat along the walls so that the middle remains empty.
8. Fill the cavity to the top with mushroom filling, and place large cheese crumbles on top in a dense layer. The next layer will be the tomato, press it lightly to deepen the tomato. “Cherry” can be replaced with large tomatoes, cutting them into slices.
9. Place the chicken muffins in the oven for 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and bake with the door closed for another 10 minutes. Remove foil and serve.

How to make muffins with chicken and cheese
- I prepare all the products. I boil the chicken fillet in advance for 10 minutes. There is no need to bring it to full readiness, because the muffins will also have to be baked in the oven.
Break an egg into a bowl, add salt and stir with a fork. I pour in kefir.
I add baking soda, stir and leave for 5 minutes to quench it (vinegar is not needed in this case). I add flour.
I mix everything until a homogeneous dough has the consistency of baking pancakes.
I cut the chicken fillet into cubes or simply separate it into fibers with my hands. I grate the hard cheese on a beet grater, and the garlic on a fine grater. I pour everything into the dough.
I stir.
I grease muffin tins with vegetable oil. I put 1.5-2 tablespoons of dough in each, depending on their size. The mass should occupy a little more than two-thirds of the volume.
Place in the oven and bake at 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until the cupcakes have risen and become slightly browned.
I definitely serve it hot. If the muffins with chicken and cheese have already cooled down, I reheat them in the microwave.
On a note:
- You can bake this snack in the form of a pie,
- Adjust baking time depending on the size of the muffins.
