Chuvash-style chicken
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Chuvash cuisine is incredibly rich and diverse, but the main meats used in national dishes are pork, beef, and sometimes horse meat. Chicken clearly doesn't hold a leading position in this cuisine, but still appears occasionally, as in this simple Chuvash-style chicken recipe I'm offering you. It's very easy to prepare, and I'm almost certain you'll find all the necessary ingredients in your fridge. We'll cook it in the oven, but if you have a casserole dish, that's perfect, as traditionally this dish is prepared in one. By the way, the result is incredibly hearty and flavorful, as all the ingredients absorb each other's juices and aromas. With this Chuvash-style chicken recipe, you'll easily create a satisfying and delicious dinner for the whole family. The dish is ready to be served.
