Spicy chicken - Kyckling med kryddsmak (retro)

SPICY CHICKEN
Kyckling med kryddsmak

This is a recipe from the 70s, and at that time in Sweden, ”spicy” didn’t mean what it means today – so please don’t expect it to be hot-hot-hot!

4 servings

1 large chicken, cut in serving-sized pieces
2 tablespoons butter, margarine or oil
salt, white pepper
dash marjoram and thyme
2/3 cup hot water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon Chinese soy sauce
½ lb carrots

Brown the chicken well on all sides in a hot frying pan. Flavour with salt and pepper and pour on the hot water. Cover and let the chicken simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Add carrots, cut in long sticks, after half the time.

Take the chicken and carrots up and add some more water to the sauce. Add tomato purée and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Put the chicken and carrots back and heat through.

Serve with boiled rice and a green salad.

Enjoy!

Bella
