Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Heat the oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Frying the chicken in batches can help ensure it browns properly rather than steaming. - 3
In the same skillet, add the butter and melt it over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter. - 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5-8 minutes. Stir occasionally.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Cooking the mushrooms until they brown adds a deeper, more intense flavor to the stew. - 5
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Cooking the flour briefly helps to eliminate the raw flour taste. - 6
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth or water, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Adding the liquid gradually and whisking continuously helps create a smooth sauce. - 7
Return the browned chicken to the skillet. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer gently for 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is heated through. Do not boil after adding sour cream, as it may curdle.
💡 نصائح احترافية: Low heat is crucial after adding sour cream to prevent it from splitting. - 8
Stir in the fresh chopped dill or parsley. Serve hot, traditionally with mămăligă (polenta).
💡 نصائح احترافية: Garnish with extra fresh herbs for a vibrant finish.
💡 نصائح احترافية
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can use chicken thighs instead of breast.
- ✓If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a little more flour or let the sauce simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
- ✓Some recipes include an egg yolk whisked with the sour cream for extra richness, but this can increase the risk of curdling if not tempered properly.
