Potatoes stewed with sauerkraut and chicken is a cozy dish of Russian cuisine that embodies the harmony of simple ingredients and rich flavor. Its roots trace back to traditional village cooking, where the combination of potatoes and cabbage formed the basis of everyday meals. Sauerkraut adds a slight tanginess to the dish, softened by the sweetness of added sugar, while chicken fillet makes it nutritious and tender. Mushrooms contribute a subtle forest aroma, and spices along with soy sauce enrich the flavor with additional depth. Perfect for a hearty home dinner that warms during cold seasons. This dish is easy to prepare and retains its flavor even the next day, becoming even richer.

Cover with a lid, first cook on high heat to let the cabbage release water and evaporate it a bit. Then reduce the heat and wait until it's cooked.
