Step cooking
- Pre-peeling chicken meat from the breast. Cut the fillet into neat slices. It is easier to cut slightly frozen meat, so do not defrost the breast completely.
- Peel the onion, cut into thin half rings. We clean the carrots and shred with a thin straw. If you like more, you can grate the onions and carrots or chop with a combine or cut into small cubes.
- We prepare the basis for goulash sauce: breed 2 tbsp. l tomato paste in a glass of warm water, then combine the tomato mixture with half a glass of sour cream. Instead of concentrated tomato paste, you can take a glass of tomato juice or homemade liquid tomato sauce. Then breed them in water is not necessary.
- A quarter glass of vegetable oil (olive or sunflower) is poured into a pot or pot with thick walls and heated over a fire. Throw pieces of chicken into the preheated oil and fry until golden over medium heat.
- Add carrots and onions to the pot and fry all together. Depending on the method of slicing vegetables, this may take 5 to 10 minutes.
- If you want to give the dish piquancy and expressiveness, then add 2 finely chopped garlic cloves to vegetables and meat. Spice lovers can further enhance the taste by adding a pinch of oregano and basil. Then we throw into the pan 2 tbsp. l flour and fry 3-5 minutes.
- Pour the cream and tomato mixture, mix.
- Add 1.5 cups boiling water. With the amount of water you can regulate the density of goulash: if you like more, pour a little boiling water. And if you want to get a lot of delicious gravy, you can take a little more water.
- Salt, reduce heat and simmer under the lid for about 20 minutes.
- Add black pepper (best freshly ground), 2 bay leaves, simmer for another five minutes.
- Turn off, let the goulash stand for at least 5-7 minutes and serve. As classic side dishes fit pasta, rice porridge or mashed potatoes. When serving, you can decorate the dish with chopped fresh parsley or dill.
