Chicken with garlic in a multicooker Redmond

There are a huge number of ideas for cooking chicken with potatoes, which allows you to create a more varied menu every time.

Before you start cooking, it is important to consider the number of people in order to accurately calculate the amount of ingredients.

For a simple recipe you will need the following ingredients:

1-1.5 kg chicken;
1 kg of potatoes;
3-4 cloves of garlic;
2 bay leaves;
pepper and salt.

Let's look at how to prepare the dish step by step:

Cut the chicken into pieces and rinse.
Potatoes are cut into strips or small pieces.
The components are laid out in layers in the multicooker container. First chicken, then potatoes, meat and potatoes again.
Between layers, do not forget to add salt, pepper, bay leaves and finely chopped garlic.
You don't have to add water to the dish. In this case, the meat will stew in its own juices.
It is worth setting the “quenching” mode in the equipment program. In this case, the cooking time is approximately 1.2 or 1.5 hours.

Ingredients:

Chicken fillet	- 0.5 kg.
Potato	- 1 kg.
Onion	- 2 heads
Butter	- 3 spoons
Water	- 1/4 l.

I want to warn you right away that you shouldn’t add a lot of water here. I have seen recipes for such a dish in a slow cooker, where they pour in four times as much water. But we stew the chicken with potatoes, and don’t boil it.

How to stew potatoes with chicken in a slow cooker

Wash the chicken breast and wipe dry. Cut it into small slices. Pour a sufficient amount of sunflower oil into the bottom of the multicooker bowl and turn on the “Frying” (or “Baking”) mode. After heating, place the chicken in the bowl. Season with spices to taste. Cook on the selected program for 5 minutes until the meat changes color and becomes whiter.
Clean the onions. We cut it into thin feathers and put it in the slow cooker after the fillet. Continue cooking in this mode for another 5-7 minutes. Don't forget to stir the ingredients.
In the meantime, peel a few potato tubers and wash them. Cut the potatoes into medium-sized strips (or other desired shape).
Place in a bowl. Add a bay leaf, a few black peppercorns and be sure to add salt. Pour in a portion of boiled hot water and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Set the “Soup/Stew” program for 40 minutes.
We clean the champignons, wash them and chop them not too finely so that they don’t get lost in the dish when stewing.
Add mushrooms to the rest of the ingredients. Season to taste, if necessary, with salt and pepper. Mix everything again. We continue to cook on the established program.
After 20 minutes of stewing the potatoes with chicken and mushrooms, you need to add tomato paste or ketchup (I used homemade), so we get a slight sourness and more piquancy. Cook with the lid closed until the program ends.

Sprinkle the finished stewed potatoes with finely chopped fresh herbs and you can serve!

Recipe with sour cream

You can cook chicken in sour cream.

You will need the following products:

800 grams of meat;
700 grams of potatoes;
2 onions and cloves of garlic;
3-4 spoons of sour cream;
water, vegetable oil, pepper, spices and salt.

Then you need to begin the cooking process, which includes the following steps:

Pour a little vegetable oil into the container, and then set the “fry” mode.
When the oil is hot, place the pieces of meat in the bowl and fry them.
After this, add the chopped onion and leave it to simmer along with the meat product until transparent.
Pour hot water into the container. Moreover, its quantity depends on the required density. To get almost a soup, you can add more liquid, and if the roast is thick, you only need a glass.
Add spices, salt, and then set to simmer.
Then add garlic to the sour cream, pour in some water and add to the bowl. Stir and turn on the device again for 15 minutes.

You cannot put sour cream in the dish at the very beginning, as the potatoes will not boil in an acidic environment.
