Chicken in kefir sauce

4 servings

60 minutes

Chicken in kefir sauce is a fragrant and tender dish of Arab cuisine that combines the sour dairy notes of kefir with the spiciness of spices. In Arab gastronomy, fermented dairy products are often used for marinades, giving meat tenderness and rich flavor. Oven-baked chicken soaked in a spicy kefir sauce with bell peppers and dried herbs turns out juicy and melts in the mouth. Nutmeg and garlic add a slight pungency, highlighting the depth of flavor. This dish can be served with light sides – rice, bulgur or fresh vegetables. It is perfect for both everyday dinners and special occasions, allowing you to enjoy the richness of Eastern cuisine in a home setting.
