What causes the difference

The portion size is the same, but the ingredients and preparation differ.

Sauce base: Tomato sauce → Cream sauceTopping: Dill → CheeseCooking fat: + Butter
  • Identical chicken — the braising liquid decides: diluted tomato with water and vegetables versus a generous cream sauce built on butter.
  • The higher-calorie pot adds fat at both ends: butter under the meat, then cheese and a spoon of sour cream on top
  • The lower-calorie version finishes with fresh dill and parsley.
  • Watery tomato braises land near 108 kcal per 100 g in real recipes, while cream-and-butter versions climb well past 170 with the same bird in the pot.
