👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge them lightly in flour.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Lightly coating the chicken helps to thicken the sauce. - 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Do not overcrowd the pan; brown chicken in batches if necessary. - 3
Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- 4
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Be careful not to burn the garlic. - 5
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Deglazing the pan adds extra flavor. - 6
Return the browned chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and a ladleful of the hot liquid from the skillet. Gradually stir this mixture back into the skillet. Cook gently for a few more minutes until the sauce has thickened, but do not boil.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Adding sour cream off high heat prevents it from curdling. - 8
Stir in the fresh chopped dill. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Add dill at the end to preserve its fresh flavor. - 9
Serve hot, typically with mămăligă, mashed potatoes, or rice.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For a richer sauce, you can add a tablespoon of butter along with the sour cream.
- ✓If you don't have chicken thighs, you can use chicken breast, but reduce the cooking time to avoid drying out the meat.
- ✓A splash of white wine can be added after sautéing the mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.
