Sometimes you want something like that. Not just dumplings, or dumplings with sour cream, but let’s say something with seasonings, sauces and cooking for two hours))
Potatoes with chicken in cranberry sauce. Sounds long and boring!
Guess the most dangerous ingredient? That’s right, cranberries! Of course, it is not good if the cat eats raw chicken. But believe me, cranberries are much more harmful!
For potatoes:
Potato — 3-4 tubers
Salt and pepper (to taste), oregano (a pinch), paprika (more).
Olive oil 2-3 tablespoons
Let’s take a look at the main ingredients first. We clean the potatoes, mode into large pieces. If you like smaller, you will have to cook chicken and potatoes in a separate bowl. Shredded potatoes will cook faster than chicken.
Salt, pepper, add paprika, oregano and olive oil.
In fact, the set of spices is subjective. You can do without oregano. You can add some other herbs. «Provencal blend», «French herbs» or something like that. Oil and paprika are a must. Oregano is good only because the cat sneezes from it. And this is five minutes of peace!))) And there is nothing to poke your curious nose everywhere!
In these five minutes we get the meat.
For chicken:
Fillet — 2 halves.
Salt, pepper, oregano, butter or olive oil.
Foil.
Wash, dry with napkins and rub with seasoning. Salt, pepper and a little oregano))) or other spices.
It is important not to use too sharp. The taste of the meat is complemented by the sauce. It is important to make it as juicy and natural as possible.
Top with a piece of butter. (This time I have olive oil, but it tastes better with cream. The cat ate the last piece of butter. By the way, does anyone know if it is good or bad for them?) Packed in foil.
Lay the potatoes and chicken on a baking sheet.
180 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Depending on your oven. Don’t forget to check.
Now let’s get to the sauce. Actually, I like the recipe with wine. But it’s not entirely clear whether you want to do something after the item “open a bottle of wine”)))
For sauce:
Cranberries — 1 cup
Ginger (root) — 1 tsp
Honey -1st.l
Sugar — 1st.l
A pinch of pepper.
Wine, if you want a not very thick sauce. Can be replaced with water.
So. Cranberry. You can use fresh berries. I only had frozen ones.
Carefully, so as not to attract the attention of the cat, open the package. Pour the cranberries, without defrosting, into a saucepan. We need a glass of berries. We put on a slow fire. For 7-10 minutes we guard both the stewpan and the trash can with a bag of cranberries. Because the cat was lured anyway and is already in ambush. Either the package will be devoured or the stewpan will be thrown off the stove. And it’s not clear which is worse! You can, of course, pour a pinch of oregano into the garbage)))) Then the protected objects will decrease by one))
While the berries are slowly boiling, grate the ginger on a fine grater. With a teaspoon. More or less, as desired. If you want a more tart sauce, then more. I have enough spoons without a slide. For a glass of berries, that’s it. When the berries heat up and begin to burst, knead them well. Of course, propping up the door with a knee, behind which there is a trash can ((How it is, it’s interesting when there is a normal cat in the house …. You can’t dream now! Or the berries will burn, or the cat will pull the bag away, and hello general cleaning!
After mashing the berries, add a tablespoon of honey, ginger, sugar, also a large spoon, and a little pepper.
Be careful with him, a pinch is enough. We mix well and guard for 10-15 minutes, stirring slightly. It is important not to burn.
If the sauce seems thick to you, or you just want a different consistency, add a little water in the process, and wine is better.
When the sauce has cooled, you need to chop the berries with a blender. But I don’t like that. I just mash it up really well with a masher. I love thick and tart. Sasha likes any, if only not to cook himself. And Skizi loves cold. If you don’t get a package or at least one berry, then you won’t calm down until you lick it off the plate. And then for a long time it will hypnotize the dishwasher. What if she, heartless, will give out a stewpan at the mercy of her?
Check for readiness potatoes and chicken. Arrange on plates and generously pour (or cover) with sauce.
To make the meat more rosy, you can cut the foil on top 7 minutes before cooking.
Enjoy your meal))
