Authentic Georgian Chakhokhbili

Growing up in Tbilisi, Georgia, I remember Chakhokhbili was a common dish that every family would make for dinner at least once a week. Chakhokhbili is the ultimate Georgian comfort food that I often make at home as well. The main ingredients of Chakhokhbili are chicken, onions, tomatoes and cilantro. Chakhokhbili is a simple but hearty and flavorful dish that you will be making over and over. I can proudly say I can make this Chakhokhbili recipe with my eyes closed.

Originally, Chakhokhbili was made with pheasant, hence the name. Khokhobi - meaning pheasant in Georgian language. Nowadays, Chackhockhbili uses a whole, cup up chicken, but you can also use chicken thighs, chicken leg quarters or cubed chicken breast.
