Ukrainian-style chicken
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Ukrainian cuisine has always felt familiar to me, and our entire family frequently enjoyed various Ukrainian dishes. Although I think many traditional recipes originating from Ukraine have long since become a steady part of our everyday diet, we're simply unaware of their origins. But this recipe for Ukrainian-style chicken is quite different—it's considered exotic, and we usually only get to try it in restaurants serving Ukrainian cuisine or perhaps at relatives' homes in Ukraine. Now I suggest you prepare this amazing dish yourself, and you'll see it's not as difficult as it might seem. So let's make a delicious chicken with authentic halushky (dumplings), and to help you succeed, I'm offering you a detailed Ukrainian-style chicken recipe with photos. Serve hot.
