Chicken jellied meat with gelatin

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook chicken jellied meat with gelatin? Prepare your ingredients. Any parts of chicken are suitable for jellied meat; I used thighs and drumsticks. Wings, legs and other parts with bones are also suitable. They contain substances that have gelling properties. You can also make jellied meat from breast meat as a more dietary option. In this case, you need to take 2 times more gelatin, since the breast contains practically no gelling substances.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken, place in a suitable pan, and cover with cold water. Place the pan on low heat and wait until it boils.

3. STEP 3

   

   Using a slotted spoon, skim off the foam. Reduce heat and simmer chicken for 1 hour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash and peel the carrots and onions. You can put regular onions without peeling them, right in the skins, this will give the broth a beautiful golden hue. I have a purple onion, I peeled it.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the whole onion and carrot into the broth. Cook it for another 15-20 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then salt the broth and add spices: ground black pepper, sweet peas, bay leaf, peppercorns. Cook for another 10-15 minutes. The chicken must be cooked very well so that the meat easily separates from the bones. Poke it with a knife to check for doneness.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the chicken from the broth and cool. Strain the broth through a sieve. I partially removed the fat from the broth with a spoon, as it turned out to be quite rich. Throw away the onion, and you can use the carrots to decorate the finished jellied meat.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour gelatin into 50 ml of cold boiled water and leave for 10 minutes to swell.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then add the gelatin to the moderately hot broth. Stir the broth thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

10. STEP 10

    

    Peel and chop the garlic. You can cut it, grate it, or put it through a press.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the chicken meat from the bones and divide it into fibers or pieces. You can cut it with a knife. Place in prepared jelly pan. If you are preparing jellied meat for a holiday, you can place chopped carrots, boiled eggs, and herbs on top.

12. STEP 12

    

    Spread the chopped garlic evenly over the meat. Carefully pour the broth into the mold. Stir the meat into the broth with a fork until it is evenly distributed. Allow the jellied meat to cool completely, then put it in the refrigerator to further harden. This will take several hours; it’s even better to leave it overnight. Serve the chicken jelly chilled, with mustard or horseradish. Bon appetit!

I love everything that contains gelatin, but I got tired of sweet jelly and wanted something meaty. Therefore, I cooked chicken jellied meat with gelatin according to this recipe. In terms of composition, it is more like aspic, but this is not so important) I took homemade chicken, it was cooked for a long time, about three hours. But the chicken meat became steamed and soft. And the broth from such chicken acquires additional gelling properties. I added onions, carrots, bay leaves and allspice to the broth. I dissolved the gelatin in the cooled broth; to do this, I poured it into a mug in advance. I chopped the chicken meat, put it in containers and decided to decorate it with carrots from the broth, cutting it with a curly knife. I also laid out small sprigs of dill and parsley. The jellied meat froze for about two hours. I don’t know, maybe it would have become even thicker later, but we ate it for dinner) It turned out to be of medium strength, that is, it holds its shape, but is not rubbery. Very tasty chicken jellied meat, no unnecessary aftertaste. Tender, satisfying and nutritious.

Chicken jellied meat. It’s already delicious in your mouth. I love this piece of art so much. It's simple: just do everything according to the recipe plus a little imagination. You can decorate chicken jellied meat with gelatin with a bunch of “grapes” made from olives and parsley, and serve a piece of jellied meat with a bee made from olives and olives. Prepare jellied meat according to the recipe - you won’t regret it!

The recipe is good! I'll do it now! Just in time for the new year) Only at the end, before laying out the meat, I’ll add more carrots to the bottom, canned peas, canned corn and herbs... I want something colorful))) And I also read that the jellied meat should be transparent When the broth is boiling, it does not need to be covered with a lid and there is no need to add ground pepper or other ground seasonings.
