A basic but delicious chicken dish that you might encounter in Eastern Europe. I believe that the sour cream is a classic ingredient in that part of the world.
MAKES: 2 servings
INGREDIENTS:
- 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 chicken leg/thigh pieces or chicken breasts
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 a carrot, grated
- 3 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 lb sour cream
- 2 tablespoons flour diluted in some milk
- pepper, salt
DIRECTIONS:
Fry the chicken on both sides until it starts to brown.
Add the onion, the grated carrot, mushrooms and the water and let it cook for about 20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Add the sour cream and stir.
Simmer for about 30 minutes.
Add salt, pepper and the flour dissolved in milk.
Cook for another 5 minutes and serve hot.
NOTE:
I serve this with mashed potatoes most often because the hubby prefers them. This is also excellent with egg noodles however.
