Istrian Chicken Žgvacet
Žgvacet comes from the northwest part of Croatia, a peninsula called Istria, that is next to the Adriatic coast. It is a type of stew similar to goulash, and can be served with pasta, gnocchi or homemade “fuzi” (type of homemade pasta).
Ingredients:
1 package of boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces (cubed)
3 tablespoons of oil (I prefer grapeseed oil)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon of flour
1/2 cup of red wine
chopped fresh basil (or dry basil) to taste
Vegeta to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat up oil and sauté onion until fragrant
Add cubed chicken breast and garlic and sauté for a few minutes
Add flour and mix well
Add wine, tomato sauce, basil, Vegeta, salt and pepper and mix well
Cook until the meat is done (about 30-40 minutes)
Serve with gnocchi, pasta or homemade “fuzi”
