85 minutes
Boiled chicken with Armenian-style tomato sauce is a dish that combines simplicity of preparation and rich flavor. It embodies the traditions of Armenian cuisine, where special attention is given to spices and sauces. Tender pieces of chicken soaked in aromatic sauce made from tomato puree, onions, and spices create a harmonious blend of flavors: the tangy notes of tomatoes are complemented by the sweetness of caramelized onions and a hint of spiciness from peppers. The dish is perfect for a family dinner and can be served with mashed potatoes or fresh vegetables. Parsley adds freshness and lightness, completing the flavor composition. It’s an excellent option for both everyday meals and festive tables where traditional simplicity meets refined taste.
