Green borscht with chicken breast

6 servings

35 minutes

Green borscht with chicken breast is a spring gift of Ukrainian cuisine, filled with freshness and tenderness. Its history traces back to traditional Eastern European recipes where sorrel served as the main symbol of nature's awakening. The light and aromatic broth based on chicken breast harmoniously combines with potatoes, while sorrel adds a pleasant sourness. A special technique of adding beaten eggs gives it a velvety texture, and sour cream adds softness and completes the flavor. This borscht not only warms the soul but also refreshes with the taste of spring herbs. It is ideal for serving as a standalone dish or with a piece of rye bread. It perfectly suits those who appreciate the lightness and balance of traditional Ukrainian cuisine.
