Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make stewed chicken breast with vegetables? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. You can change the set of vegetables according to your taste, desire and availability. It is better to buy chilled chicken breast, this product will be juicier. Wash it and cut it into small cubes.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the eggplants and also cut them into small cubes. If a vegetable has a specific bitterness, 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

Step 3
It is better to use young zucchini — it is more tender, tasty and contains more nutrients. Also cut it into cubes. If you wish, you can add potatoes to the dish, but it will make it more nutritious and high in calories. 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

Step 4
Wash, peel and chop the carrots in any way — on a grater, with a knife into pieces of any size. I like all the ingredients to be cut the same, so I cut everything into cubes. Wash the tomatoes, cut out the place where the stalk attaches, and cut the pulp into small pieces. If the tomatoes have thick, rough skin, it is better to remove it.

Step 5

Step 5
Peel the onion and finely chop it with a knife. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan with a thick bottom and heat it. Place the onion in a frying pan and fry it over medium heat until translucent.

Step 6

Step 6
Add the chicken meat to the onions, stir and fry everything together until the meat turns white. If desired, you can fry until the meat gets a golden brown crust, but in this case the dish will become less healthy.

Step 7

Step 7
Remove the chicken fillet and onions from the pan. Add the eggplants to this frying pan with the remaining oil and fry them until lightly browned.

Step 8

Step 8
Return the fried chicken breast to the pan, add the rest of the vegetables and spices to taste: salt and ground black pepper; if desired, you can add sweet paprika or other seasoning. Stir and fry the ingredients over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes to allow the vegetables to release their juice.

Step 9

Step 9
Then pour water into the vegetables and simmer them over low heat for about 20 minutes. The liquid should almost completely evaporate. The dish is ready. Serve it to the table. Bon appetit!
