Same basic recipe my grandmother made except she added I sliced green pepper and a drained can of whole peeled tomatoes to the chicken as it simmered.
Simple recipe, straight forward, authentic and excellent.
Very good. Made with boneless skinless thighs. So easy. Threw in a can of mushrooms and a tablespoon of tomato paste.
Everyone loved it but not much flavor. Meh.
I liked it and it’s so nice and easy. At the end, I removed the chicken pieces and cooked the sauce down slightly before adding sourcream mixture and a bit of Easy Blend Robinhood flour (which I prefer to conrstarch). I made half the recipe, and the chicken pieces were boneless so I cooked it half as long — 15 minutes, turned the chicken, 15 minutes more.
