8 boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 little bottle of Perrier or 1-1 1/2 cups of any sparkling (mineral) water
1 tbsp chopped dill
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika / red chili powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped thinly in rounds
any kind of fresh pepper, chopped (I used small sweet yellow Italian peppers)
mushroom, chopped - as much as you want
juice of one lemon or lime
1 tbsp flour
2 tsp peppercorns
salt
The main ingredients for this recipe are chicken and onion. You are free to add fresh peppers, mushroom, corn, carrots, etc. I try it with different ingredients every time, but fresh peppers and mushroom are the best.
-Marinate the chicken in a bowl for 20-30 minutes with sparkling water, 1 tbsp olive oil, dill, garlic, paprika, and ground black pepper.
-In a deep skillet, heat the oil and add onions. Stir for a couple of minutes and add peppers and mushroom. Drain the chicken and add in the skillet with peppercorns when mushroom looks cooked.
-In a small bowl, mix well 1 tbsp flour with juice of one lemon. Add this in when the chicken is cooked. If it gets pretty sticky with flour, you can add a little bit of hot water. Stir for 2-3 minutes and your sparkling chicken is ready.
I really love recipes like this, collect them because I cook with chicken so often, and this is very flexible. It looks delicious! Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteSher, this is a great recipe not only because it makes the chiken very tender but also it reduces the "chicken" smell to minimum with sparkling watrer and lemon.
ReplyDeletei love the name :-) i am sure it tastes as good as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteMerhaba Burcu,
ReplyDeleteSiteni cok begendim, bravo! Bende Istanbul dogumluyum ama 18 yasinda America'ya yerlestim. Yemek yapmaya da 20'lerimde basladim ve Turk yemeklerinin bir cogunu bilmem. Tariflerin harika! Benim sorunum, sodali kek ya da sodali borek tariflerindeki sodanin ne oldugunu anlayamamam. Club soda mi, mineral water mi yoksa baking soda mi? Cevabini bekliyorum, tesekkur ederim. Perihan
Merhaba Perihan,
ReplyDeleteSoda Turkcede maden suyu icin kullanilir, yani mineral water ama sparkling water da kullanabilirsin, ayni kapiya cikar.
