Discover the richness of Georgian cuisine with this incredibly aromatic and succulent Chicken Shkmeruli. This dish, where tender chicken meets a velvety creamy garlic sauce, creates an unforgettable culinary adventure. Its simple preparation and exquisite taste make it an ideal choice for any occasion, from a casual dinner to a festive feast.

Start by preparing the chicken: carefully cut it along the breastbone and rinse thoroughly under running water.

Thoroughly pat the chicken dry. Then, rub it with regular salt on the outside and fragrant Svanetian salt on the inside, allowing the meat to absorb the spicy notes.

Pour vegetable oil into the pan and heat it thoroughly to create ideal conditions for frying.

Place the chicken skin-side down in a hot pan, press it with a weight, and fry until partially cooked, so the skin turns golden and crispy.

Flip the chicken, press it down again, and cook until fully done, ensuring the meat is tender and juicy.

Meanwhile, grate the garlic on a fine grater and sauté it in vegetable oil over low heat until a fragrant aroma appears.

Add the cream to the garlic and reduce the sauce until it thickens to your desired consistency, transforming into a smooth and flavorful sauce.

Cut the cooked chicken into small serving pieces and generously pour the prepared creamy garlic sauce over it.

Complete the masterpiece by garnishing the dish with vibrant pomegranate seeds and fresh dill leaves, imparting not only flavor but also aesthetic perfection.
