Mordovian Chicken And Mushroom Casserole

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms are golden and the liquid has evaporated.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce.
  7. Cover the skillet and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  8. Serve the Mordovian Chicken and Mushroom Casserole hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
