Chkmeruli is tender chicken cooked in a rich garlic cream sauce, baked and served in a traditional clay pot with lavash bread for soaking up every drop of the aromatic sauce. A deeply comforting Georgian classic.
Chkmeruli is one of Georgia's most beloved comfort dishes — tender chicken pieces bathed in a luxuriously rich garlic cream sauce, baked to perfection in a traditional clay pot. At Saperavi Georgian Restaurant in Winnipeg, our Chkmeruli is prepared by our seasoned Georgian chef using an authentic recipe that lets the garlic and cream meld into a sauce that is both bold and velvety.
The dish is served bubbling hot in its clay pot, accompanied by lavash bread that's perfect for soaking up every last drop of the aromatic garlic cream. The combination of golden, tender chicken and the intensely flavorful sauce makes Chkmeruli a favorite among both first-time visitors discovering Georgian cuisine and returning guests who can't get enough. It's the ultimate comfort food on Corydon Avenue.

"The garlic cream chicken at Saperavi is incredibly flavorful. Perfectly spiced and served in a beautiful clay pot. The sauce is so good you'll want extra bread to soak it all up. A wonderful dining experience."
