Braised Chicken and Potatoes in Sour Cream
Chicken and potatoes in sour cream is a delicious dish with a mild, comforting flavor. It's welcome at any table and hearty enough to serve as a complete meal — cubes of potato and pieces of chicken in a fragrant, rich sour cream sauce. It's gentle enough for kids and older folks alike: the chicken is tender with no stringiness, the potatoes cook down soft, and everything is soaked through with that wonderful sour cream sauce. Enjoy!
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Gather your ingredients.
-
Step 2:
Peel and wash the vegetables well.
-
Step 3:
Grate the carrot on the coarse side of a grater. Dice the onion small.
-
Step 4:
Heat the butter in a sauté pan or Dutch oven and cook the onion gently until translucent.
-
Step 5:
Add the grated carrot and let everything cook together for a bit.
-
Step 6:
Cut the chicken into large pieces. Use thighs, wings, or breast, as in the recipe. Keeping the pieces on the larger side helps the meat stay juicier.
-
Step 7:
Lay the chicken pieces on top of the onion and carrot base.
-
Step 8:
Add the diced potatoes. Pour in enough water so it comes up just below the top of the ingredients. Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are about half done.
-
Step 9:
Stir in the sour cream, mixing everything together in the pan.
-
Step 10:
Season with salt, and add a bay leaf and any spices you like.
-
Step 11:
Brush the tops of the potatoes with mayonnaise (honestly, this is optional — I didn't notice it making much of a difference). Simmer until everything is tender.
-
Step 12:
This dish can stand in for a whole meal — part soup, part main course in one. Add less water and you'll get a thick, stew-like main. Take it whichever way you prefer.
