Instruction manual
1
In order to cook chicken in sour cream, take a carcass and rinse it well under water. Chicken for this dish should be selected fresh or chilled, a frozen bird is also suitable, only it needs to be thawed in advance. After this, the chicken must be dried and set aside.
2
In a mortar or coffee grinder, grind black pepper with peas, mix it with salt, curry, paprika and turmeric. Rub the bird well with this mixture and let it marinate for a day.
3
After that, take a lemon and squeeze juice out of it in the amount of one tablespoon, add sour cream and finely chopped greens. You can take any greens, the main thing is that dill is one of its components, since it contains a large number of essential oils that enhance the taste and aroma.
4
Boil the mushrooms in one liter of salted water over moderate heat for 25 minutes. Then flip it over a colander or sieve and rinse with cold tap water. Pour the vegetable oil into the pan and heat it over low heat. Fry the mushrooms in oil until tender and set aside to cool.
5
Next, take a piece of cheese and grate it on a fine grater, in a separate bowl, mix the mushrooms, cheese and a tablespoon of sour cream. Stuff the bird with this mixture and sew the hole with thick threads. Since the filling is liquid, it is impractical to do this with toothpicks, otherwise it will leak out during baking.
6
Put the chicken breast up in the baking dish and fill it 2/3 with the mixture of sour cream and lemon prepared earlier. Put the mold in the oven and bake the chicken for 50-60 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.
7
When the chicken is completely baked, piercing with a match in the area of the breast, you should see transparent juice flowing out. At this time, mix soy sauce and honey and spread the skin of the carcass with a culinary brush. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Ready chicken should be chopped and served with vegetables, herbs or rice.
note
In cream, you can add cream with a fat content of at least 20% in equal proportions.
Useful advice
It is best to bake the chicken in a deep form, so that the sour cream sauce covers it by 2/3.
