Chakhokhbili ( Georgian: ჩახოხბილი) is a traditional Georgian [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] dish of stewed chicken and tomato with fresh herbs.
The characteristic feature of Chakhokhbili is to dry-fry chiken without adding any kind of oil.
Its name comes from the Georgian word ხოხობი (khokhobi) which means " pheasant". [6]
