Aspic, sometimes called jelly or aspic, but this is one and the same dish. It's just that in the north of Russia, the appetizer is called jelly, and in the south it is called aspic. The main difference between these dishes and aspic is that the latter contains gelatin among the ingredients. Therefore, you can cook meat without additional components, because it will harden thanks to the gelatin.

It is worth noting that jellied meat belongs to low-calorie dishes, so it is suitable for a delicious dinner that will not hit your figure. A dietary dish is especially considered if it is made from tender parts of poultry. But if you are not afraid of extra calories, then take a fatter homemade chicken, then the broth will turn out to be very rich. Chicken jelly is also a healthy dish, because it is saturated with cartilage tissue, which is very beneficial for the human body. Since it is in cartilage, bones and ligaments that gelling components are contained, thanks to which the dish becomes thick and viscous when it cools.
