Receta Chahohbili - Georgian Chicken Stew
This is another dish that I had while in Russia, and it's popular throughout the former Soviet Union. This might be the most commonly made Georgian dish. I'm a big fan of the flavors. I served it over rice, but it would go nicely with pasta or crusty bread too. To me, this isn't as remarkable as the Georgian beef stew that I linked to below. However, it is still delicious. And a number of guests at my dinner party preferred it to the beef. It's definitely a winner. If you throw a party and want both a chicken an beef option, these complement each other nicely.

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and scoop about half of the onions out of the pot and into the saute pan.

When the onions are browned, scrape the onions and the browned bits from the chicken into the pot with a firm spatula.
