   How to bake chicken in cream sauce in the oven? Prepare the products. Any part of the chicken is suitable for baking in the oven. I'm going to cook chicken thighs. But you can use shins, breast or chicken fillet. Or cut a whole chicken into pieces and bake it. Cream can be of any fat content, I have 22%.

   Wash the chicken and dry it well with paper towels. Then it will be fried, not stewed. Heat the frying pan to a hot state and pour a little vegetable oil on it. Place the chicken thighs in a hot frying pan and fry them over high heat until golden brown for a couple of minutes on each side.

   Put the fried chicken thighs in a deep baking dish. It is not necessary to lubricate the mold, since there is enough fat on the chicken for the mold. In general, the frying pan process can be skipped, but, in my opinion, this way the finished dish looks ruddier and more appetizing.

   With constant stirring, pour the cream into the pan to the flour. Stir the sauce well so that there are no lumps. Then add the chopped garlic and dill. To taste, add a little salt and spices to the sauce. As a spice, you can use ground pepper and paprika. Stir and, with constant stirring, bring it to a boil. When heated, the sauce will thicken slightly.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour the finished cream sauce over the chicken thighs in the mold. Put the form with the chicken in the oven, preheated to 190 degrees, for 45-50 minutes, be guided by your oven. The finished thighs will become golden, ruddy in color.
