Fried chicken fillet in a frying pan with onions

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry chicken fillet in a frying pan with onions? Prepare all the products indicated in the recipe. You can use regular or cherry tomatoes. If possible, use bell peppers of different colors, so the finished dish will look more colorful and brighter.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse chicken breasts and dry with paper towels. Cut each breast in half lengthwise so that the fillet becomes thinner (as in the photo). Lightly salt each piece.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the bell peppers into two parts, remove the core and seeds. Peel the onions. Wash and dry all vegetables to remove excess water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the onion into thin half rings or rings. Grind the bell pepper into feathers or half rings.

5. STEP 5

   

   Heat the vegetable oil well in a thick-bottomed frying pan. Send the chicken breasts to fry. Cook until a delicious golden crust appears on one side, then turn the breasts over and fry until golden brown on the other side. It took me about 7 minutes on each side.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the fillet in a separate container, and add the onion and bell pepper to the frying pan where the chicken was fried. Lightly salt. Fry everything together, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft.

7. STEP 7

   

   At this time, cut the tomatoes into slices. If you have cherry tomatoes, you can leave them whole or cut them in half.

8. STEP 8

   

   When the vegetables in the pan are ready, place the chicken breasts on top of them. Add tomatoes to meat. Sprinkle ground peppers and your favorite dry herbs on top such as basil, oregano, herbes de Provence, etc. I added garlic powder this time. Cover the pan with a lid and leave the chicken to simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. After a minute or two, open the lid and check if there is enough liquid from the tomatoes in the pan.

9. STEP 9

   

   If there is not enough juice and the vegetables burn, then add just a little water (literally 4-5 tbsp). At the end of cooking, spoon the resulting vegetable sauce over each piece of chicken. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and red onion rings (optional).

    Ready! Very tasty when served hot.

I cooked chicken for lunch according to the recipe for fried chicken fillet in a frying pan with onions. Instead of fillet, I took two wings and legs. I cut them into pieces, salted them, and fried them in vegetable oil until golden brown. Then I added the onion, cut into half rings, and simmered until the onion was soft (I did not add bell pepper). After putting the tomato slices and chopped garlic into the frying pan, I closed it with a lid and left it on low heat for an hour. I had to increase the stewing time in order for the meat to reach softness, since the chicken legs were quite thick and dense. The chicken turned out delicious! Juicy, soft, aromatic in a delicious rich sauce! We ate it with pleasure. Thank you very much for the recipe!
