Chakhokhbili is a Georgian home-style stew of chicken slowly cooked in its own juices with plenty of tomatoes, onions, and fresh herbs. Made with little oil, it has a light yet rich flavor from the tomatoes’ natural acidity.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Brown the chicken

8 min

Cook the chicken in oil over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, until it changes color on all sides. Set aside.

2

Sauté the onion

10 min

In the same pan, sauté the onion over medium heat for 10 minutes, until softened.

3

Simmer

30 min

Add the tomato, garlic, and ground red pepper, then return the chicken to the pan. Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

4

Serve

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

Reminder

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3 days; the flavor deepens overnight. It can be stored in the freezer for 2 months.
