Chicken with tomatoes in the Caucasian style is a bright and aromatic dish of Georgian cuisine that embodies the best traditions of Caucasian flavors. The origins of this recipe lie in the cuisine of Georgian highlanders, where simple yet rich ingredients create an unforgettable taste. The combination of tender chicken meat with sweet-sour tomato paste and fresh tomatoes gives the dish a special juiciness, while the addition of vinegar and spices reveals its layered character. Slow-cooking the meat with onions and fat allows the ingredients to fully develop, infusing each piece with deep flavor richness. The finishing touch is fresh parsley, adding a note of freshness. This dish pairs perfectly with lavash or rice and is great for both a home dinner and a festive feast.
