Chicken and Vegetable Stew
4 servings
40 minutes
Chicken and vegetable stew is a bright and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that combines tender chicken meat with the rich flavors of seasonal vegetables. Historically, stew emerged as a way to prepare accessible ingredients in one dish, allowing their flavors and richness to shine through. The bell pepper, eggplant, and tomatoes give the stew a pleasant sweetness and slight acidity, while spices add depth of flavor. Green beans provide freshness and a crunchy texture. The dish is simmered in vegetable oil, slowly absorbing all the aromas until the vegetables and chicken become soft and tender. Stew can be served hot or cold; it pairs wonderfully with bread, porridge or simply on its own, creating coziness and filling with the warmth of home cooking.
