  • The chicken is the same, but the braising liquid changes from diluted tomato with vegetables to a generous cream sauce made with butter.
  • The cream-based braise adds butter under the meat, then cheese and sour cream on top.
  • Fresh dill and parsley finish the tomato braise instead.
  • The tomato braise comes to roughly 108 kcal per 100 g, compared with more than 170 for the cream-and-butter version.
