Before cooking chicken slices with vegetables, they must be poured with lemon juice, grated with black pepper and left to marinate briefly. At the same time, the lemon is cut into circles, sprinkled with sugar and put in a bowl to give juice. The oven pan is greased with oil and large pieces of bell pepper are laid out on it. Onion rings (rather thick) are distributed on top of it, and chicken slices are already placed on it. They should be sprinkled with vegetable oil and seasoned with herbs: oregano, rosemary, cardamom, coriander or a ready-made set. Mugs of fresh lemon mixed with candied chicken are laid out. And complete the entire design of the olives. The baking sheet is placed in the oven for about an hour, after which pieces of chicken with vegetables are available for eating.
Braised Chicken
A kilogram of chopped bird is quickly fried in vegetable oil and transferred to a saucepan. In the remaining chicken fat, mixed with butter, a frying is made from a large onion (diced) and a large carrot (diced or grated). When both vegetables turn brownish, 2 large tablespoons of tomato paste are added, one small - sugar, salt and sliced bell pepper. After a couple of minutes of quenching, two glasses of water or broth are poured; as the liquid boils, it spills into a pan with chicken. After 20 minutes of cooking, eggplant cubes or zucchini are added to the chicken pieces with vegetables. If you can not do without potatoes - enter her, only a little earlier. In total, it takes forty minutes to extinguish; hour - if you cut the bird large. Shortly before graduation, laurel and chopped parsley are placed in the pan.
Foil Chicken
The oven always saves those who are too lazy to stand by the stove. So a chicken with vegetables - simply and tasty, and most importantly - without much effort - is cooked if baked in foil. Parts of the carcass are rubbed with pepper, favorite spices, salt and left for 20 minutes to “lay down”. Onions (a quarter kilo per kilogram of chicken) are cut in half rings. Grams of 400 tomatoes are chopped into medium-sized cubes, half a pound of sweet pepper into strips, and carrots (300 g) into cubes. Four cloves of garlic are chopped with a knife (and not a crush). A piece of chicken and a little of all vegetables are laid out in a piece of foil, after which it is tightly folded. This procedure should be done with all the pieces. The packages are placed on the oven sheet and sent to the oven for an hour. Appetizing and juicy pieces of chicken with vegetables are offered to hungry family members.

Small mushrooms are best not to touch at all, put whole. The bird is rubbed with spices for 10 minutes before sending to vegetables. First, pepper, salted and seasoned vegetables are laid in the sleeve, and chicken is already on them. She will give juice, and the whole dish will languish in it and soak it. The bag is tied tightly and sent to the oven, heated to 180 degrees. There, the chicken, baked with vegetables in the sleeve, will spend an hour and a half. Note that you can bake the whole carcass in this way, but it does not get any worse in pieces.
