Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the chicken and cut off the excess bone. We won't need it.

4. STEP 4

   

   I cut the onion into quarter rings.

5. STEP 5

   

   Tomatoes need to be peeled; to do this, I make shallow cross cuts with a sharp knife and lower them into a saucepan with boiling water for 30-40 seconds. I take it out, peel it and finely chop it into cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Finely chop the garlic and cilantro.

7. STEP 7

   

   The chicken must be fried until golden brown in a dry frying pan without a lid.

8. STEP 8

   

   I'm starting to prepare the sauce. I take another frying pan or saucepan with high sides. Because chicken and tomatoes will give a lot of juice in the future. I add 2 tbsp. oils Add the onion to the melted butter and fry until soft, it takes me 2 minutes. Add tomatoes to the onion, mix and leave to simmer under the lid for 3-5 minutes. Add 2 tbsp. tomato paste and simmer for another 2 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   I add chicken fried on all sides and simmer covered over medium heat for 20 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    I add garlic, pepper, salt, hops-suneli to our mixture and mix. Simmer for another 25-30 minutes over low heat, watching the amount of liquid evaporated.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add half of the fresh cilantro and stir. Chakhokhbili is ready! When serving, sprinkle with the remaining herbs. Bon appetit!
