Step 1:
How to put out chicken with carrots? Prepare the ingredients. Any part of the chicken will do, I took the thigh fillet. The most dietary dish will come from the breast. You can just cut a whole chicken into pieces and cook them. To reduce the calorie content, first remove the skin from the meat.
Step 2:
Wash the carrots well, peel and grate on a medium grater.
Step 3:
Wash the chicken pieces, dry them and put them in a deep frying pan. Pour in cold water so that it completely covers the chicken.
Step 4:
Turn on the heat, bring the water to a boil and simmer the meat on low heat under the lid for about 20 minutes, periodically removing the foam.
Step 5:
Then add carrots, salt to the pan and simmer the dish without a lid for about 10 minutes.
Step 6:
Next, add tomato paste. Instead of tomato paste in this dish, you can use fresh or canned tomatoes, it will turn out even tastier. If necessary, add salt to the chicken. You can also add any spices and seasonings to taste.
Step 7:
Simmer the chicken with carrots for another 5-7 minutes until the excess liquid evaporates. Pass the garlic through a press, add to the pan and mix. Keep the dish on the fire for a couple more minutes, then remove from the stove. Serve to the table with any side dish. Enjoy your meal!

Keep in mind that the final result in this dish also depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots will turn into mush during heat treatment and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape.

For cooking, it is better to use a neutral taste filtered or bottled water. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
