Chicken fillet in mayonnaise is a simple yet incredibly tasty dish from Russian cuisine. It embodies the traditions of home cooking, where simple ingredients transform into a tender and aromatic treat. Chicken fillet stewed in mayonnaise and sour cream gains special softness, while pepper and salt enhance its flavor.

It's prepared for both everyday meals and cozy family dinners since it doesn't require much time but consistently delights with its rich taste and tender texture.
