Kharcho with chicken

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 cook at home.

How to cook Kharcho with chicken

Step 1

Kharcho with chicken

Place chicken legs in a pot with water, add carrots cut into two parts and an onion. Cook for two hours after boiling.

Kharcho with chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use chicken breast, but keep in mind it cooks faster and may result in a less rich broth. Adjust cooking time to about 1 hour or until the meat is tender.
If tkemali is unavailable, you can use tamarind paste, pomegranate molasses, or a mix of lemon juice and plum puree for a similar tart flavor.
Replace the chicken with mushrooms or tofu for umami, use vegetable broth, and skip the meat. Adjust cooking times as plant-based ingredients cook faster.
Yes, freeze without fresh herbs for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently, adding fresh herbs when serving.
Serve with crusty bread, a dollop of sour cream, or a fresh herb salad to complement the soup’s bold flavors.
Control heat by reducing or omitting ground pepper. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes at the end for adjustable spiciness.
Yes, but brown rice takes longer to cook (about 30 minutes). Adjust broth volume as needed and add it earlier in Step 2.
