Chicken Lagman

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients. I use chicken fillet, but other parts of the chicken will also work, for example, shins, thighs, quarters. I took noodles "nest" 4 pieces.

2. Step 2:

   

   If necessary, defrost the chicken fillet on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Rinse it, dry it with paper towels, remove the films, excess fat. Cut into pieces. I made them not too small and oblong.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the onion. Rinse it and the knife with cold water so that when slicing onion juice does not irritate the mucous membrane of the eyes so much. Cut the onion into small cubes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Thoroughly rinse the carrot, peel and cut into thin plates, straws or cubes, as you like.

5. Step 5:

   

   Bulgarian pepper also wash, cut in half, remove the middle with seeds. Cut into small cubes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Rinse juicy, fleshy tomatoes. Make cross-shaped incisions on the surface of tomatoes, pour boiling water over them and leave for 1-2 minutes. Drain the water. Remove the skin with a knife.

7. Step 7:

   

   Pour vegetable oil with a high smoking temperature into the pan. Warm it up well. Lay out the chicken slices, fry them over moderate heat on all sides until a light golden crust forms. Salt the meat to your liking. Do not fry for too long, so as not to over-dry the fillets. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

9. Step 8:

   

   Now fry the prepared vegetables. First, pass the onion until transparent, then the carrot and pepper. Fry the vegetables until soft. Mix it up.

10. Step 9:

    

    At the end, send tomatoes to the vegetables, reduce the heat and simmer for a couple more minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Add tomato paste and pour in some boiled water. Mix everything together and simmer for another 2 minutes on low heat. At the end, add salt to taste.

12. Step 11:

    

    In a deep saucepan with a thick bottom (you can use a cauldron), transfer the fried chicken, pour it with vegetables in tomato. If there is not enough liquid, pour in a little water. Try it with salt. If necessary, add salt and pepper. You can add other seasonings that you like at your discretion. Bring the contents to a boil, reduce the heat to a minimum and simmer for about 10 minutes.

13. Step 12:

    

    Boil water in a saucepan. Add salt, put the noodles and boil. Read the cooking time in the instructions on the package. If you use pasta "nests", then be sure to add a teaspoon of any vegetable oil to the water where it is cooked.

14. Step 13:

    

    Remove the noodles with a slotted spoon, let the water drain and transfer to a plate. Pour vegetable gravy with chicken meat on top. On top, you can sprinkle chopped herbs (dill, cilantro, petrutschka). Delicious lagman with chicken is ready! Serve immediately until the dish has cooled down. Bon appetit to everyone!
