If you need to cook a tasty and relatively inexpensive dish that can feed a large family or guests, many housewives opt for chicken baked with potatoes.

Until recently, chicken and potatoes were baked in the oven. But with the advent of the multicooker, they began to cook this dish in it.

The volume of the bowl allows you to bake the chicken not only in the form of portioned pieces, but also as a whole.

Baked chicken with potatoes: the subtleties of cooking

To make the meat juicy and soft, it is better to take young chicken or chicken legs, as they cook quickly.
Potatoes can be cut into slices, cubes or baked whole (if they are young or small).
The sequence of laying out the ingredients does not play a special role. But if you want to get meat with a fried crust, you need to put it first. If you put the potatoes first, then it will be fried.
Some housewives recommend laying onions as the first layer. This method does not always justify itself, since in a high-power multicooker it can burn. Therefore, it is best to put the onion last. During cooking, it will give juice, which will make juicy not only meat, but also potatoes.
Chicken meat can be baked both raw and pre-fried.
To get a less fatty and high-calorie version of this dish, first you need to put raw chicken meat in the bowl, potatoes on it, and put the onion in the top layer. In this case, everything is baked, or rather, stewed in its own juice.
About halfway through cooking, open the lid and check the condition of the meat crust. If the meat is too reddened, it must be carefully turned over with a special spatula and fork, being careful not to damage the integrity of the potato slices. In multicookers of low power, turning the meat is not required.
If the bottom layers are starting to brown too much and you don't want to stir them, you can pour 1-2 tablespoons of hot water into the bowl.
To give the dish a complete look, 10 minutes before it is ready, sprinkle it with grated cheese. Cheese in a slow cooker is not covered with a golden crust, as it happens with him in the oven. It simply melts, enveloping potatoes, onions and meat, adding spice to them.
The taste of baked chicken largely depends on the additional ingredients. Carrots give the dish a sweetish aftertaste, ginger - a slight burning sensation, spicy herbs - aroma. Garlic, cumin, coriander are well suited to this dish. Chicken can be pre-marinated in mayonnaise or mustard, as well as in a mixture of herbs or soy sauce. It is better not to use vinegar for this purpose, as the acid will delay the cooking of the potatoes. But sour cream, on the contrary, will make the potatoes soft and juicy.
The roasting time for chicken with potatoes depends on the model of the multicooker and ranges from 40 minutes to an hour.

But today we will cook in a slow cooker - perhaps the most popular kitchen appliance today. She is good for everyone: she will replace the stewpan, and the pan, and the oven, and the double boiler, and will save the busy hostess from washing extra dishes.

Roast chicken, potatoes and vegetables in a slow cooker turns out notable, no worse than in the oven, and at the same time without a single drop of oil, imagine - and more dietary, more economical, and at least manipulation! The result is a wonderful, hearty and complete dinner for the whole family, with a minimum of money and time, which is very important in our time of crisis.

So let's get started. The chicken should be cut into portions. I always buy a homemade broiler from the market, cut the meat from the bones, cook the selected dishes, and boil a rich broth from the skeleton. I did the same in this case.

If you buy chicken parts separately, then thighs and drumsticks are best for roasting - as we remember, our roast is without oil, and these parts have fatty skin, which will give the dish juiciness. You can put meat with bones, you can cut it off the bone, this is already optional.

We figured out the chicken, now the vegetables. Wash potatoes, peel and cut into large circles.

Peel the onion and cut into quarter rings.

Three carrots on a grater.

Put chicken meat, seasoned to your liking, in the multicooker bowl. You can just take salt and pepper or show your imagination and add your favorite seasonings: suneli hops, dry adjika, sweet paprika or ready-made seasoning for chicken - whatever you like more or what is at hand. I had Svan salt on hand, and I put it in. Season and salt the chicken and separately salt and season the vegetables. To vegetables, you can add a bay leaf broken into pieces. Put seasoned vegetables on top of the chicken in the multicooker bowl.

Now the "trick": we will cook our roast in the "Baking" mode - this will create an exact imitation of baking in the oven. We turn on the program and cook for twenty minutes. After this time, open the slow cooker and mix our dish. The chicken has already caught on, let out fat and juice, and we will mix all this with vegetables. We close the slow cooker and cook for another thirty minutes, plus or minus, check the readiness of meat and potatoes, they should be easily pierced with a knife.
