Chicken zrazy with mushrooms is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines tender chicken fillet with aromatic mushroom filling. The origins of zrazy trace back to ancient culinary traditions where meat rolls with filling were a sign of festive feasts. Zrazy have a delicate texture and an appetizing crispy crust due to breading and frying. Mushrooms, onions, and spices give the filling a rich flavor, while baking makes the dish especially juicy. This versatile treat can be served with a side of potatoes, buckwheat, or vegetables and can also be used as an independent snack. It is perfect for cozy home dinners and festive events, delighting with its rich taste and intense aroma.
