40 minutes

Gediljbe is a traditional dish of Azerbaijani cuisine that impresses with its tenderness and rich flavor. Its origins trace back to the culinary traditions of the Caucasus, where dairy products play a key role in creating soft, warming dishes. The base of this recipe is a sour cream sauce that gives the chicken delightful juiciness, while white mushrooms add subtle earthy notes. Onions simmering in the sauce become sweet and add extra depth to the dish's flavor. Gediljbe is a cozy, homey treat perfect for family dinners or gatherings with loved ones. It should be served with fragrant fresh bread to enjoy every drop of the rich sauce.
