Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken with vegetables and potatoes in a cauldron? The recipe is not at all complicated. The dish will turn out quickly and without much effort. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use any parts of the chicken you like - drumsticks, thighs, breasts. You can also take half a chicken or one small chicken and cut it into portions. You can replace or supplement the vegetables and spices specified in the recipe to taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   I used drumsticks, but you can take half a chicken or one small chicken and cut it into portions. If you wish, you can remove the skin from the meat to reduce the calorie content of the dish.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now prepare the vegetables. Wash and dry all the vegetables. Peel the potatoes, cut into medium cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the bell pepper from seeds and stems and cut into medium cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Also cut the eggplant into medium cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the tomato into medium cubes. What tomatoes are suitable for this dish? Juicy but dense. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well; during cutting and cooking, they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

7. STEP 7

   

   In the cauldron, heat the vegetable oil. Put the pieces of chicken at a short distance from each other so that the meat is fried, and not extinguished. I have a cauldron with a bottom of a small diameter, so I fried the chicken in two guns. Fry to the broody crust from all sides.

8. STEP 8

   

   When all the chicken is fried, add potatoes to it, sprinkle with some of the spices, stir and fry everything together, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add eggplants, bell peppers to the cauldron and also sprinkle them with the remaining spices. Pour in hot water. Bring the broth to a boil and simmer the chicken and vegetables under the lid over low heat for 30-40 minutes until the meat and potatoes are cooked.

10. STEP 10

    

    Then add tomatoes to the cauldron and simmer for another 10-15 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    At the very end, sprinkle everything with chopped herbs.

12. STEP 12

    

    Remove the cauldron from the heat and let the dish sit under the lid for 10-15 minutes. Bon appetit!
