Casserole with chicken fillet and vegetables under cheese is a cozy dish of Russian cuisine that embodies the traditions of home cooking. The combination of tender chicken meat with aromatic vegetables bound by creamy sauce and topped with melted cheese makes it not only nutritious but also exquisite.

The dish is perfect for a family dinner and a light festive table, combining the coziness and warmth of home cooking.
