Chicken and rice kurnik
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I had leftover pancakes at home from Maslenitsa, and I thought, why not make some baked dish with them? I found this recipe in an old cookbook. To prepare the kurник with rice and chicken, I also add mushrooms—just regular fresh or frozen champignons. The kurник turns out very filling—it can replace both main courses and can be served with tea or coffee.
