Cook Time 120 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thigh
- 1 piece Eggplant
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 150 gram Cheese hard
- 350 ml Cream (20%)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika sweet
- 3 pinches Coriander (ground)
- 2 pinches A mixture of spices
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Basil
- 2 teaspoons Potato starch
Instructions
- For cooking, I took a ready-made chicken thigh fillet. But you can cook the fillet yourself by carefully separating the meat from the bone and removing the skin.
- And so, the chicken fillet is slightly beaten off from one side, from the one from which the skin was removed. Pepper with a mixture of peppers and lightly salt. Put it in the refrigerator while we prepare the filling.
- Cut eggplants into cubes, fry in vegetable oil. 5 minutes before the end, add tomato ketchup and coriander, mix well. At the end of frying, add a little salt, add the squeezed garlic, turn off the heat and mix well. Non-parliamentary.
- Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Put 3 tablespoons of cheese in the eggplant filling with a slide, mix. The rest is covered with cling film and put away in the refrigerator for a while.
- Put a tablespoon of filling on one part of the chicken fillet, not reaching the edge of 1 cm.
- Cover with the other half and secure with a toothpick. These are the pockets you should get.
- Grease the mold with vegetable oil, lay out the chicken pockets. Prepare a hot cream sauce: pour soy sauce into a deep bowl, add paprika, basil and 1 tsp salt.
- Pour in the cream, add starch, mix well.
- Pour the sauce over the pockets, cover the mold with foil and put it in a preheated oven to bake at 180 degrees.
- After 40 minutes, remove the mold from the oven, remove the foil, and remove the toothpicks. Sprinkle the pockets with grated cheese and pour the sauce over them.
- Put it back in the oven for another 40-45 minutes. No foil!
- The fragrance throughout the house is simply divine!
- Arrange the pockets on plates and serve as an independent dish, with vegetables or other favorite side dish! Very tasty, juicy and fragrant!
