Chicken cooked in kefir goes well with any side dish, fresh vegetables and herbs. Cooking this dish will not take much of your energy, and the result will be impressive. Kefir will preserve and emphasize the taste of meat, complementing it with special aromas and juiciness.
There are several ways to cook chicken in kefir. For juicy and tender meat, it is better to use marinating. To do this, you need to take pieces of chicken and pour kefir over them. You can add garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, suneli hops, bay leaves and any spices to your taste to the marinade. The chicken container must be refrigerated for at least three hours.
When the chicken is already sufficiently saturated with marinade, you can start cooking. Pieces of chicken must be transferred to a greased baking sheet and sent to the oven for 20-30 minutes.
If you use the marinade by pouring it over the chicken pieces, you will get a stew. This cooking method is best used for chicken breasts. Kefir will make the meat juicy and even more tender. This is a great option for those who follow their figure.
There is no time for pickling, then you can use a faster cooking method. It is necessary to fry the chicken in a pan, transfer it to a baking sheet and pour with a mixture of kefir, herbs, spices and grated cheese. This sauce is thick and aromatic.
The kefir marinade can also be used to prepare whole chicken, but for this it is advisable to increase the marinating period to a day. Pickled chicken can be fried on a jar, in foil, or simply on a baking sheet.
