Chicken stewed with mushrooms in tomato sauce is a hearty and delicious dish perfect for beginners. The slow-cooked chicken becomes tender and absorbs the rich flavours of the tomato sauce, mushrooms, and seasonings. It’s a great comfort food that you can serve with rice, pasta, or even crusty bread.
Salt and fry the prepared chicken. Thoroughly clean and wash fresh white mushrooms or champignons, chop them finely, put them in a bowl, put on low heat, add a little melted chicken fat and stew for 20 minutes. Cut the fried chicken into portions or smaller pieces with bones, put them in a dish, add the mushrooms, pour in the tomato sauce and then stew until cooked for another 15-20 minutes, covering the dish with a lid.
For 1 medium-sized chicken - 2 tbsp. of melted chicken fat, 100 g of mushrooms, 150-200 g of tomato sauce.
Why It’s Great:
This dish is easy to prepare, making it perfect for beginners, yet it tastes like something you might find in a restaurant. The slow simmering ensures that the chicken stays juicy and tender while the sauce develops deep, rich flavours from the tomatoes, garlic, and mushrooms.
