This recipe is very special because it brings out childhood memories and triggers that warm feeling fuzzy feeling. Often growing up my mom cooked this fantastic meal. Tonight I was delighted to make it for my husband since I do enjoy any opportunities to share a part of my Russian heritage. Easy to prepare, this Braised Chicken is a sure way to satisfy even the pickiest eater. It’s a breeze to prepare and the best part? It’s light on the budget.
I think many of us have a few dishes that we remember eating as children. Those dishes that remind us of special moments in our lives that can we long to recapture.
