Cooking method

Cooking time: 45 min

Step 1:

Gather your ingredients.
Step 2:

Rinse the breast, remove the skin, take the meat off the bone, and cut it into strips—not too thin. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
Step 3:

Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan or deep skillet. Add the onion and cook until translucent, then add the garlic and cook that until translucent too. Keep the heat low so the onion and garlic don't brown.
Step 4:

While the onion cooks, cut the bell pepper into strips or cubes. Red or yellow peppers are best, though green works too—it won't change the flavor, but a bright pepper makes the dish look prettier.
Step 5:

Add the pepper to the onion and garlic. Fry until it gives off its fragrance.
Step 6:

Add the chicken to the vegetables, stir, and fry until the fillet pieces turn white.
Step 7:

Season with salt, add the sour cream, and stir.
Step 8:

Add a pinch each of marjoram and oregano. Stir, cover with a lid, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 9:

For more sauce, keep the heat low and don't add water. If you turn the heat up and stir often (watching that nothing scorches), the chicken will come out without gravy—still tender and juicy. While the chicken cooks, you can put together any side dish and a vegetable salad. Dinner is served!
