Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make chicken fillet in flour in a frying pan? Prepare all ingredients. I took the chicken thighs, removed the skin and removed the bones. Take medium-sized peppers and tomatoes, and a large onion. Tomatoes can be replaced with ketchup, tomatoes in their own juice or tomato paste. Choose the proportions to your taste. If you use vegetables of different colors, like mine, you will get a brighter dish. Any greens will do. I took cilantro and thyme.
Step 2:
Rinse the chicken under running water. The bones and skin remaining from the thighs can be used in another dish, for example, to make broth. Wipe the resulting pieces with a paper towel so that there is no moisture left and there are fewer splashes when frying.
Step 3:
Rub the fillet with salt and spices. If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish. Leave to marinate at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
Step 4:
Peel the onion, rinse and cut into thin half rings. To avoid irritating the mucous membrane of the eyes when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.
Step 5:
Wash the bell pepper, remove the stalk, cut, peel the seeds and cut into large pieces.
Step 6:
Wash the tomato, remove the stalk and cut into small arbitrary pieces. I have small tomatoes, so I took 2 pieces. Peel and chop the garlic by passing it through a garlic chopper or grating it on a fine grater.
Step 7:
Roll the chicken fillet a little into a roll, dip it in flour from all sides.
Step 8:
Take a frying pan with a diameter of about 22 cm. Heat a frying pan with oil over medium heat and lay out all the chicken pieces. Increase the heat and fry until golden brown on one side.
Step 9:
Then turn the fillets over, turn down the heat and fry on the other side for 10-15 minutes.
Step 10:
This method of roasting will make the chicken fillet juicy. When the chicken is browned on the other side, remove it from the pan.
Step 11:
In the same oil, fry the onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally. You do not need to bring it to golden, it should become soft and glassy. Add a little salt.
Step 12:
Then add pepper and chicken to the onion, mix. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 13:
Put the tomato and garlic in the pan. Stir and leave for another 3 minutes.
Step 14:
At the end, add the olives, stir, cover and leave on low heat for 5 minutes. Olives can be cut lengthwise in half or crosswise into rings. I prefer to add them whole, so I didn't cut them.
Serve the chicken fillet hot, garnished with sprigs of greens. This dish goes well with boiled potatoes, rice and pasta.
Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
