APPETIZERS ≈ 6 hours 20 minutes 25 October 2026 · 0 comments
STEP 6 — Once cold, the meat can be cut into thin slices.

This simple recipe produces very tender meat. It is difficult to slice neatly while hot, but cuts well once cooled. Serve on a cold meat platter, in sandwiches or in salads.

INGREDIENTS
chicken fillet (from the breast) 2
water 2 l
salt 130 g
sugar 50 g
garlic 3 cloves
Cloves 1
Caraway seeds 1 tsp
Allspice berries 4
ground cinnamon 1 tsp
cardamom (ground) 1 tsp
black peppercorns 10
Bay leaf 2
mustard seeds 1 tsp
TIP

While the breast was hot, the saltiness was strong. After cooling, the taste balanced out.

Using the same recipe, you can cook pork, beef, and turkey. Take the pieces not too large, no more than 700 grams. Increase the cooking time for pork and beef to 12 hours. Turkey takes the same amount of time to cook as chicken.

The amount of meat should be such that it is free. If you are going to cook a lot, then you need to increase the amount of water and salt and sugar proportionally.

There is a similar recipe on the site chicken breasts in milk.

If you don’t have a multicooker, you can wrap the pan with meat and broth in a blanket or warm clothes (old jackets, coats).
