Shkmeruli is a Georgian chicken dish in a garlic and milk sauce. The chicken is first fried, then simmered in a sauce of plenty of crushed garlic and milk or cream. The result is a strong garlic flavor and a tender white sauce. The sauce is scooped up with bread, so fresh bread or lavash is placed on the table. The dish is served hot in cast iron cookware. It suits garlic lovers especially well. In Baku restaurants shkmeruli has become popular in recent years.
