Chicken Bosnian Style Recipes

CHICKEN BOSNIAN STYLE

Steps:

• Salt and peper the chicken.
• In a large skillet (mine was non-stick) heat the oil and arrange the chicken.
• Brown the chicken on both sides, then take out and set aside.
• While the chicken is browning chop green onions, bell peper, celery and garlic.
• After you take out the chicken, in the juce left over, saute the veggies and add all the seasonings.
• When the veggies get tender put the chicken breasts back in and add the lemon juce.
• Cover and simmer untill the chicken is cooked.

BOSNIAN STYLE CORNBREAD (RAZLJEVAK)

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter an 8x8-inch baking dish and sprinkle 1 tablespoon cornmeal over the bottom of the dish.
• Sift the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and vegetable oil together in a separate large bowl. Mix the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined; don't overmix. The batter should be pourable; add more buttermilk as needed to get the right consistency.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

CHICKEN BOTI KEBABS

Steps:

• Chicken
• Smash garlic with a mortar and pestle to make a paste (you should have 1 Tbsp.) and transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat process with ginger (you should also have 1 Tbsp. You can also finely chop and then smash the garlic and ginger with the side of a chef's knife on a cutting board if you don't have a mortar and pestle.) Add yogurt, oil, salt, coriander, cayenne, and cumin to bowl and whisk to combine. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes, or chill up to 4 hours.
• Sumac onions
• Toss red onion, sumac, and salt in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
• Hari chutney and assembly
• Purée lime juice, chile, garlic, cilantro, mint, and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a food processor or blender until smooth and pourable. If you prefer a thinner chutney, drizzle in 1-3 Tbsp. ice water a tablespoonful at a time, processing until you reach the desired consistency. Taste and season chutney with more salt if needed. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Place sour cream in another small bowl and add 2 Tbsp. chutney; whisk to combine. Season herbed sour cream with salt. Cover both remaining chutney and herbed sour cream separately and chill until ready to serve.
• Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, taking care not to pack it too tightly. Grill, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and charred in spots, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and slide chicken from skewers. (Alternatively, broil skewers on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, turning once, about 5 minutes per side.)
• Spread reserved herbed sour cream on cut sides of buns. Stuff buns with chicken, cucumber slices, and reserved sumac onions and drizzle with chutney. Do ahead: Hari chutney and herbed mayo can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

TFAYA BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Soak the raisins in hot water for 5 minutes or until softened; drain and transfer to a deep roasting pan.
• Make the marinade: Transfer the stock, olive oil, honey, garlic, turmeric, ginger, salt, black pepper and cinnamon to a large bowl; mix until smooth and well combined.
• Add the onions to the roasting pan and pour approximately half of the marinade over the onions and raisins. Use your hands or tongs to combine.
• Transfer the chicken legs to the large bowl with the remaining marinade and use your hands or tongs to make sure that the chicken is thoroughly coated. Place the chicken legs on top of the onion mixture, skin-side up, and pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
• Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and scatter the almonds on top. Return to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden and the almonds are nicely toasted. Serve immediately, with a side of couscous or bread.
