From chicken and mushrooms: a recipe for an unusual jelly for Easter

If you plan to prepare jello for the Easter table, try making chicken with mushrooms: it turns out to be low-fat, and light with a piquant mushroom taste.

Chicken for jelly can be taken from a store or from a village. Selska will be cooked a little longer. If you take a neck, leg, wings, or thigh, you will not need to add gelatin.
