Chicken with Sour Cream Sauce and Polenta Recipe Welcome to my kitchen! Today we will prepare a delicious recipe for chicken with sour cream sauce, accompanied by fluffy polenta. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a festive meal, and the combination of flavors will bring a smile to everyone’s face. Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 40 minutes Total: 60 minutes Number of servings: 4 Ingredients - 700 g chicken meat (boneless thighs or breast) - 1 large onion - 2 egg yolks - Juice of one lemon - 200-300 ml sour cream (ideally cooking cream, thicker) - 1 tablespoon mustard - 1 bunch of fresh parsley - Salt and pepper to taste - Oil for frying - 200 g cornmeal (for polenta) Preparation of Chicken with Sour Cream Sauce 1. Preparing the meat: Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This will ensure even cooking. I recommend using boneless thighs as they are juicier, but chicken breast is a leaner alternative. 2. Browning the meat: In a large skillet, add a little oil and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the pieces of meat and brown them on all sides. It’s important not to overcrowd the pan; if necessary, do this step in batches. Once the meat is browned, remove it to a plate and let it rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. 3. Sautéing the onion: In the same skillet, let the remaining oil heat up, then add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion until it becomes translucent and soft, about 5-7 minutes. This step is essential, as caramelized onion will add sweetness to the sauce. 4. Preparing the sauce: In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and sour cream. Mix well to obtain a smooth composition. This combination will give the sauce a creamy texture and a refreshing taste. 5. Combining the ingredients: Pour the sour cream mixture over the sautéed onion, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Then, add the browned meat pieces and a cup of water. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes. The sauce will reduce and the flavors will blend perfectly. 6. Finalizing: When the sauce is ready, taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Finally, sprinkle finely chopped parsley for an extra touch of freshness. Preparation of Polenta 1. Boil the water: In a pot, bring water to a boil (about 1 liter is sufficient for 200 g of cornmeal). Add a pinch of salt to flavor the polenta. 2. Add the cornmeal: When the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and gradually add the cornmeal, constantly stirring with a whisk or wooden spoon. This will prevent lumps from forming. 3. Cooking the polenta: Continue stirring until the polenta becomes thick and starts to pull away from the sides of the pot, about 10-15 minutes. If you prefer a softer polenta, you can add more water. 4. Serving: Once the polenta is ready, you can transfer it to a platter or serve it directly from the pot. It is delicious either warm or at room temperature. Serving and Suggestions Serve the chicken with sour cream sauce alongside a generous portion of polenta. This dish can be accompanied by a fresh green salad or pickles for a contrast of flavors. Personal Note I like to add a few slices of chili pepper or a splash of chili sauce to the sour cream sauce for a bit of spice. Also, feel free to try this recipe with turkey for a lighter option.
