Good recipe
The recipe itself is great. Also, from what I know, the chicken for chakhokhbili is supposed to be cooked "dry" - all the fat removed and no oil or butter in pan. But, as I said, the recipe makes for a very taste dish.

Excellent!!
It was some wonderful experience both cooking and eating!! My friends who tried this dish almost immediately asked for a recipe. I made only two change: replaced fresh tomatoes with a can of stewed diced ones. Incidentally, these happened to contain some jalapeno peppers but nobody complained about it.
Another change: I took out all bones as americans would not survive having them in a stew. Anyway, it was a great recipe. Thanks a lot!!
