When the Georgian Chicken Came to My Kitchen

Astalk celery and a tomato

I was excited reading and commenting the Natalia's blog. She just posted the savory chicken recipe that she called Georgian Chicken

I had curiosity about this recipe. The name of this chicken recipe was intriguing me. I was not alone, Ella http://homewithmrst.blogspot.com also wondered about this name, and she asked Natalia, “The name of the chicken was George?”

This chicken recipe is from Georgia, the name of a country.

Surely, my friend Valerie does not know this recipe, because this recipe might be not familiar in Georgia where is Valerie from. Yes, Valerie was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Here, Georgia is a name of state in the Southern US.

What is the special from this recipe?

In this recipe, Natalia used white meat chicken (chicken breast) and bunches of vegetables: a cup chunk tomatoes, bell pepper, cilantro, or parsley, or dill. 

Chicken breasts

Bay leaves and allspice give good-tasting in this dish.

Then, I looked what I had in my fridge.

Okay! I had chicken breasts, tomatoes, and celery. Cilantro was out, I used it for cooking tom yum last two days ago, so I would use celery instead of cilantro.

I also had dried parsley, dried chives, and died dills. These ingredients were good for me to get started a new recipe, a Georgian cuisine.

Georgian Chicken in my pan is nicely cooked.

It did not take long to prepare and cook it, and here, the Georgian Chicken from my kitchen.

For this moment, the Georgian chicken in my kitchen used celery instead of cilantro, but next time I will be well prepare for the ingredients and I will have the exactly Georgian Chicken with true Georgian flavor.
