Chicken stewed with walnuts in a frying pan, is another opportunity to diversify the menu by preparing a hearty and very delicious dish. The meat turns out tasty, with an unusual nutty taste. Prepare it, I’m sure you’ll like it. My family is delighted with this dish.
Ingredients
To prepare chicken stewed with walnuts in a frying pan, you will need:
chicken meat (I have thighs) - 0.5 kg;
salt - to taste;
water - 1/3 cup;
black ground pepper- taste;
mixture of Italian herbs - 1 tsp;
dill - a bunch;
carrots - 1 pc.;
tomato - 1/2 pcs.;
walnuts - 3-4 tbsp. l.;
vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. l.
Cooking steps
Wash the chicken parts, dry with a paper towel and fry on vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown, 6-7 minutes.
Send walnuts there (I didn’t chop the nuts, I like them better when they are whole, but this is optional, you can chop them a little with a knife). Fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Then add water, if necessary, add more spices. Cover and simmer the chicken and walnuts over medium heat until the liquid has completely evaporated, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Divide the chicken with walnuts into serving bowls and serve hot.
Step 1: prepare the meat.
If the chicken breasts are frozen, be sure to defrost them and wash them thoroughly under running water. Then put them in a saucepan, pour chicken broth on top and put on fire. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Don't forget to remove the foam after the meat boils. And on such a small fire our chicken should be stewed. This will take about 25 – 30 minutes. In principle, during this time the chicken should be cooked. After all, we need well-cooked meat.Step 2: continue cooking the chicken.
After the breasts are stewed, remove the pan from the heat and let the meat cool in the pan with the broth for at least half an hour. After all, we will need to take the meat with our hands, and I don’t want to be cursed later because you burned your hands with hot meat. So, the breasts have cooled down. Carefully remove them from the pan and use a sharp knife to remove all skin and bones. Simply put, we trim all the meat from the bones, but again, without the skin. We try to cut the trimmed meat into small pieces of about 1x1 cm. Transfer the chopped meat into a clean bowl and move on to the next step. Step 3: prepare the sauce.
Our callous White bread chop it into crumbs, pour it into a bowl, add fried chopped nuts and mix everything thoroughly until we get a homogeneous mass. Then pour in about ¼ of the chicken broth (in which the breasts were cooked), salt and pepper to taste. Press the garlic into a garlic press and add it to the bread with nuts. Paprika too. Finally, mix everything thoroughly again. So we have a sauce for chicken with walnuts. We divide it into approximately two equal parts. Step 4: serve.
We pour one part of the sauce over our chopped meat and mix. Then place the meat and sauce on a dish and pour the second part of the sauce on top. Wash the greens, finely chop them and sprinkle on top to give the appropriate appearance. All is ready. Serve to the table. Bon appetit! If you still opt for frozen chicken breasts, then it is best to defrost them in a bowl with cold water.
It is advisable to brown stale white bread in a hot frying pan without oil before chopping. A new shade of taste will be added.
You can also add a sprig of basil to the parsley.
Chicken meat combined with walnuts looks very original and unusual. This dish comes from Georgia, where it is called “satsivi”. Satsivi is a sauce from walnuts, which is served with poultry, meat and fish.
Of course, the central place in the dish is occupied by the sauce, namely the walnuts included in its composition; they give a pleasant and very interesting taste and aroma.
It will take a lot of time to prepare chicken according to this recipe, and this task will be quite troublesome. This dish does not like to be rushed; there is no need to rush when preparing it; the dish should sit until all the ingredients become one. Otherwise, you'll end up with regular fried chicken.
Instead of chicken, you can use other poultry, such as duck or goose. You can be sure that such a dish will not leave any of your household members and guests indifferent; even the most sophisticated gourmet will appreciate it. And to completely surprise your guests, serve them potato cutlets, a very unusual and tasty recipe.
