Braised chicken with celery and zucchini is a dish that embodies the coziness of home cooking and the traditions of Russian culinary arts. Tender chicken meat soaked in the juices of fresh vegetables gains softness and rich flavor. Zucchini adds lightness to the dish, celery provides a pleasant spiciness, and tomatoes contribute juiciness. A lemony note gives exquisite freshness, while the aroma of dill completes the harmony of flavors. The dish is baked in the oven, allowing the ingredients to fully reveal their properties and create a rich bouquet of aromas. Braised chicken is perfect for family dinners as well as cozy gatherings with loved ones. It’s not just food — it’s warm memories of home and traditions that unite generations.
