Delicious okroshka with chicken on kefir
Traditional summer dish. It will satisfy your hunger even on the hottest day! For me, the taste of okroshka on kefir has been an integral component of summer since childhood. In the warm season, sometimes it gets so hot that you don’t even want to think about hot food, but your stomach demands food. This is where this recipe, simple to the point of genius, comes to the rescue.
It is also convenient that the base for okroshka can not be filled with kefir, but mixed with mayonnaise or sour cream - you get a quite satisfying and at the same time refreshing salad.
The advantage of this recipe is the use of boiled chicken breast as the meat component. It has a delicate taste and unique aroma, which only intensifies when adding bay leaves during cooking. It’s impossible to resist such okroshka!

Dear Irvingstone! Your recipe came just in time!) I recently tried okroshka from a friend of mine. I liked the taste, but they didn’t tell me the exact recipe. In our area, such a dish is not at all popular, but I really want to cook it for my family! In the hot summer, such a refreshing “soup” will come in handy! I'm sure my family will love the taste of the new dish! True, I don’t know if I can find cilantro, but all other products are not difficult to find. Thank you again! I will cook!

Dear MARIA, I’m very glad that you liked the recipe. It would be great to know about your impressions of the finished dish. Don’t worry about the cilantro, in my opinion, this is a completely optional component. In addition, it will probably be easier to find not cilantro (coriander) in its pure form, but, for example, as part of a ready-made mixture of spices such as “khmeli-suneli” and the like. It should be even tastier with this seasoning!

I prepare okroshka almost the same way as you, only instead of sparkling water and vinegar I add homemade kvass. What exactly does sparkling water do in okroshka?

LOVE YUMMYS, in general, add water to kefir-based okroshka to thin it out if it seems too thick. That is, you can add regular cold water. Soda (mineral water, we mean), firstly, adds an interesting taste, since it, as a rule, itself has a certain taste, and secondly, it adds a little bubbles to the okroshka, which also changes the feeling of eating it dishes.

Thanks for the answer, I always added kvass, I’ll try it with mineral water
