Are there any forces in the world that can make chicken fillet hundreds of times more tender? We answer decisively: yes! And it is mozzarella. We have prepared a recipe for baked fillet under this young Italian cheese, which is used to make pizzas, casseroles, lasagnes, salads and all sorts of snacks. For us, mozzarella in this recipe is valuable because it melts perfectly and gives the dish a delicate milky flavor.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
