Azu of chicken with pickles

Chicken with cucumbers and potatoes - meat and side dish. This dish is prepared according to the recipe of the Tatar azu, only chicken was used instead of beef or lamb. All other ingredients are as in the classic recipe. I just didn't add garlic. But if desired, you can add 1-2 cloves of finely chopped garlic. Also, pickled cucumbers can be replaced with pickled ones. In any case, I recommend using gherkins. They are convenient to cut, they have a thin skin, they are juicy and crispy. And any azu turns out to be tastier than with large cucumbers.
