Description
A comforting and flavorful one-pot dish made with chicken, vegetables, and aromatic spices, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg kipfilet (chicken breast)
- 1 knob of butter
- 3 bell peppers (color of your choice)
- 250 grams mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 onions
- 1 red chili pepper
- 3 bay leaves
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 400 grams canned tomatoes
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 50 ml balsamic vinegar
- 400 ml water
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons paprika powder
- Pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
- Gather necessary kitchen tools: a cutting board, chef’s knife, a casserole pot with a lid, and a wooden spoon.
- Remove the seeds from the peppers and chop them into cubes along with the onions. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
- Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Trim excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then coat lightly with flour.
- Heat the butter in a casserole pot over medium heat, brown half of the chicken pieces, remove, and repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Add the chopped onions, peppers, and mushrooms to the pot, cooking until the vegetables start to brown.
- Stir in the paprika powder, garlic, red chili pepper, fennel seeds, and cumin seeds, and sauté for another minute.
- Add the tomato paste, cooking for about 2 minutes.
- Add the balsamic vinegar, water, bay leaves, thyme, and canned tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover, reduce heat, and let simmer gently for about 30 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce thickens.
- If the sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered until it reduces.
- Serve hot with rice, boiled potatoes, or creamy mashed potatoes.
Notes
For more depth of flavor, marinate the chicken in balsamic vinegar for a few hours before cooking. Adding extra vegetables like carrots or zucchini can enhance nutrition. Adjust spice level by adding more or fewer chili peppers.
