Shkmeruli () is a traditional Georgian dish of chicken, fried and then cooked over low heat in garlic sauce for 20–25 minutes.
==History== Historically, throughout various regions of Georgia, dishes featuring chicken and garlic sauce have long been prepared—typically cooked by stewing in an earthenware pot or by roasting. Subsequently, milk began to be incorporated into this dish, and the recipe eventually made its way to Shkmeri, a village located in the Oni district of the Racha region. The name "Shkmeruli" is derived from this very village of Shkmeri.
