Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make stewed chicken breast with vegetables? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. According to taste, desire and availability, you can change the set of vegetables. It is better to buy a chilled chicken breast, such a product will be more juicy. Wash it and cut it into small cubes.
Step 2:
Wash the eggplants and also cut them into small cubes. If the vegetable has a specific bitterness, then it can be removed by soaking the vegetable in a salty solution. My eggplant is not bitter, so it does not require special preparation.
Step 3:
Zucchini is better to use young — it is more tender, delicious and contains more nutrients. Cut it into cubes as well. Optionally, you can add potatoes to the dish, but it will make it more nutritious and high-calorie. This option is suitable for the whole family, especially where there are men. Ladies on diets should not add potatoes to the dish.
Step 4:
Wash, peel and chop carrots in any way — on a grater, with a knife into pieces of any size. I like it when all the ingredients are cut the same, so I cut everything into cubes. Wash the tomatoes, cut out the attachment point of the stalk, cut the pulp into small pieces. If tomatoes have a dense rough skin, then it is better to remove it.
Step 5:
Peel and finely chop the onion with a knife. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan with a thick bottom, heat it up. Put the onion in a frying pan, fry it over medium heat until transparent.
Step 6:
Send the chicken meat to the onion, stir and fry everything together until the meat turns white. If desired, you can fry until the meat gets a ruddy crust, but in this case the dish will become less useful.
Step 7:
Remove the chicken fillet with onion from the pan. Send the eggplants to this frying pan for the remaining oil in it, fry them until they are lightly blushed.
Step 8:
Return the fried chicken breast to the pan, add the remaining vegetables and spices to taste: salt and ground black pepper, if desired, you can add sweet paprika or other seasoning. Stir and fry the products over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes so that the vegetables let the juice.
Step 9:
Then pour water into the vegetables and simmer them for about 20 minutes. The liquid should almost completely evaporate. The dish is ready. Serve it to the table. Bon appetit!
How easy is it to peel tomatoes? Wash them, make criss-cross incisions on top with a sharp knife. Put it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, cool slightly and remove the skin.
Which zucchini will work best? Choose young fruits with tender skins. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut off a very thin skin. If you use more mature zucchini, cut off the rough peel and cut out the middle with the seeds.
