Delicious juicy pockets of chicken fillet stuffed with cheese and eggplant. The light aroma of spices and creamy sauce give the chicken a special unique piquancy. Serve as an independent dish, with vegetables or other favorite side dish.
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!
