Chicken in a Pot Recipe
I keep coming back to this simple and delicious one-pot chicken recipe.
My kids really love chicken with a ton of sauce, which they eat with a lot of rice. They licked their plates clean and even asked for more.
My eldest son walks through the door and says: “Mom, I could smell the food from the entrance to the building. We’re eating this dish now, right?” He didn’t waste any time, sat down, and dug in.
3 – 4 Servings
Ingredients:
4 Chicken quarters / 8 Chicken legs / kilo of wings
7 cloves garlic, sliced
100 g tomato paste (2 tablespoons)
2 – 3 cups water
A thinly sliced hot pepper (optional)
A teaspoon of sugar
Spices:
A heaping teaspoon Moroccan paprika
A teaspoon of ground sweet pepper / chicken grill
Half a teaspoon of hot paprika
A tablespoon of Soup powder
Half a teaspoon of black pepper
Half a teaspoon of salt
Preparation:
1. Slice the garlic. Heat 3-4 Tbsp of oil in a pot and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
2. Add the water, sugar, tomato paste and spices. Cook for 5 minutes and lower the heat to medium and add the chicken. Try to get it in one layer. The water should reach 3/4 the height of the chicken in the pot.
3. Cook for around an hour and a half, partially covered. Give the pot a gentle shake occasionally and add a bit of water if you think the pot needs topped up with liquid.
