This is a delicious Russian dish. Enjoy with some fresh bread or some pasta, and a salad of tomatoes and/or spring onions. I prefer the taste of chicken thighs over the breast meat. Much more flavour in the thigh and it doesn't dry out.
7-8 skinless boneless chicken thighs
3 cloves of garlic minced or paste (Do Not use bottled garlic paste. The taste of vinegar is overpowering.)
2 tbsp of fat free sour cream
1-2 tbsp of oil or butter
salt
pepper
dill to garnish
Rub the chicken with garlic, salt and pepper thoroughly and evenly.
Heat a frying pan or wide pot and add the oil or butter. Wait till it's quite warm but not smoking.
Add the chicken in single layer (they should not be crowded.) Lightly brown both sides on Medium heat. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side.
In a separate bowl, take the sour cream and add 1tsp of water and make a smooth paste.
Pour this sour cream over the chicken evenly and stir. Wait till it starts bubbling gently.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes on medium low heat.
When the chicken is cooked (no pink inside) you're done.
Plate the chicken and spoon over the delicious sour cream sauce.
Garnish with chopped dill. (Optional)
The tender chicken infused with garlic enveloped in the rich, sour cream, tangy and savoury sauce is almost too good of a marriage of flavours and textures. This really is best with fresh French bread, ready to scoop up the tangy sauce.
Yum!
Enjoy!!
