Advice
Use chicken thighs instead of breast because they stay juicy during simmering and give the sauce a richer tavern-style flavor.
Why it works π‘
Searing the chicken first builds deep flavor, while onions, peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes cook down into a sweet, smoky, glossy sauce that clings to every piece.
Twist πΆοΈ
Add 120 g crumbled white brined cheese (ΒΎ cup / 4.2 oz) over the hot kavarma just before serving for a richer Balkan tavern finish.
