🇬🇪 Georgia recipe

Chakhokhbili

Chakhokhbili is a rustic Georgian chicken stew that originally featured pheasant but has evolved into a beloved everyday dish made with chicken. The bird is braised in a rich tomato and onion sauce without any added water or oil, relying entirely on the natural juices of the ingredients. Finished with a lavish handful of fresh herbs, chakhokhbili is honest, unpretentious cooking at its most satisfying.
