I bought a whole yellow sticker Chicken a couple of day ago. This was a very good use for said Chicken....
Ingredients:-
1 Chicken, portioned
1 Tbsp of Oil
3 Tbsp of Margarine
1 Onion, diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
3 Tbsp of Plain Flour ( Gluten free for us), plus 2 Tbsp of Water
1 Can of Chopped Tomatoes
2 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
200ml of Chicken Stock
200ml of Sour Cream
200g of Mushrooms, sliced
3 Tbsp of Hot Paprikas
Salt & Pepper to season
Chopped Dill to garnish
Method:-
(1) Season the Chicken pieces with Salt & Pepper.
(2) Coat with 2 Tbsp of Paprika.
(3) In a Dutch Oven heat the Oil and Margarine until foaming.
(4) Add the Chicken and fry on both sides until browned.
(5) Remove and set aside.
(6) Add the Onions to the Dutch Oven and cook until softened.
(7) Add the Mushrooms and Garlic, cooking for a further minute.
(8) Stir in the Tomato Puree and then add the chopped Tomatoes & Chicken Stock.
(9)Add the remaining Paprika and Flour mixed with Water.
(10) Return the Chicken to the sauce and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the Chicken is cooked through.
(11) Remove the Chicken and stir the Sour Cream to the Sauce, stirring in well.
(12) Serve the Sauce over the Chicken and garnish with fresh Dill.
We served our on a bed of Rice Noodles. This was a real winter warmer and had a great depth of flavour.
We had the crown of a Chicken left over as we'd used the wings and legs. We also had some Chives from yesterdays meal which we don't normally had in. So Pie it was.....
Ingredients:-
1 small Chicken crown, roasted
Pastry mix (We used Gluten Free at 89p and followed the instructions on the pack)
2 large Onions
4 large Mushrooms, sliced
Flour & Margarine to make a Roux
Fresh Chives
Fresh Parsley
Milk
Salt & Pepper to season
Method:-
(1) Fry the Onions gently until softened.
(2) Cut the Chicken into cubes.
(3) Make a Roux. (margarine and flour) Effectively you need to fry the Flour in the Margarine, add Salt and Pepper and then add milk whilst whisking. You should end up with a reasonably runny White Sauce.
(4) Add the Chicken, Onions, Mushroom, Chives and Parsley to the mix and simmer over a very low heat.
(5) All the Pie base to an oven proof casserole dish.
(6) Add the pastry, bur creative with in if you like?
