CHICKEN MOUSSAKA RECIPE

Chicken moussaka

Chicken Moussaka

 

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground chicken,
1 kg. boiling potatoes,
1 onion, chopped,
2 carlic cloves, crushed,
2 large tomatoes, diced,
1 tsp. dried oregano,
1 pinch cumin powder,
400 ml. plain Balkan yogurt,
2 cups chicken stock,
3 large eggs,
4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil,
salt and pepper to taste.

Recipe:

1. Peel and dice the potatoes to approximately 1/2-inch cubes.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and saute the onion, garlic and diced potato for 5 minutes.

3. Add the tomatoes and ground chicken and keep cooking for another 3 minutes.

4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

5. Transfer everything in a baking dish, pour the chicken stock in and bake covered for about 20 minutes.

6. In the mean time mix together the yogurt, eggs and spices. When the potato is soft, pour the mixture on top of the chicken moussaka and bake uncovered until the topping sets and becomes nicely golden in color.

7. Let the chicken moussaka rest out of the oven for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Tip: This is a very simple moussaka recipe that can be prepared in less than half hour, and baked in the oven with minimal attention. Because I use potato for this recipe instead of eggplant, it will be easier for you to refrigerate the leftovers and re-heat them later.
