Chicken with

Product

Recipe-Ingrediants

Returning from Crete, among all the goodies I brought, I had "Xinohondro." I will make it with chicken that I got from Mrs. Maria in my village (you know, the village chickens that still have their yellow fat and give all their deliciousness), tomatoes from my father's garden, and extra virgin olive oil from Mani. When you have wonderful ingredients, you don't need many ingredients or spices to make a tasty dish. So, simply, modestly...


Ingredients:
•    500g chicken fillet, cut into small pieces
•    400g "Xinohondro" (Cretan sour wheat)
•    1 dry onion, finely chopped
•    2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
•    4-5 mushrooms, sliced
•    2 ripe tomatoes, crushed
•    700g vegetable broth
•    Extra virgin olive oil
•    Salt and pepper

Directions

In a pot, add a little olive oil and lightly saute the chicken. Then, add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic, and towards the end, add the garlic (to prevent it from burning and becoming bitter). Next, add the tomato, "Xinohondro," lower the heat, and let it simmer until the chicken is tender and combined with the "Xinohondro."
•    You can add some additional liquid to make it juicier.
•    You can also add vegetables like carrots, zucchini, etc., for a flavorful result.
•    It can be served with grated mizithra cheese, which pairs perfectly.
Note: "Xinohondro" is a traditional Cretan ingredient made from fermented wheat. It provides a unique sour taste and adds texture to the dish.
