Cooking with Sour Cream

Posted Thu, 04/15/04

 

A reader sent me two sour cream recipes, as well as a link to a web site featuring more such dishes.

 

The following recipe includes chicken and mushrooms, two of my favorite foods:

 

Chicken in Sour Cream

2 LBS chicken pieces

1/2 C flour

2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

4 TBS butter or margarine

1 C sour cream

1 C chicken broth

8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms

1-1/2 tsp. paprika

 

In a clean plastic or paper bag, combine flour with salt and black pepper. Toss chicken pieces with flour mixture. Melt butter in a casserole dish or skillet; brown chicken on all sides. Mix in sour cream, broth, mushrooms and paprika. If the skillet is not oven-proof, transfer mixture to a casserole dish. Cover and bake at 350-degrees F for forty-five minutes, or until chicken is tender. Serves four.

Another recipe offered was a sour cream-based bread, which is just as delicious:

 

Sour Cream Banana Bread

1 C sugar

1/2 C oil

2 eggs

1 C mashed bananas (2 medium)

1/2 C sour cream

1 tsp. vanilla

1-1/2 C all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

 

Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Grease and flour bottom only of a 9X5" loaf pan. In large bowl, beat together sugar and oil. Add the eggs, bananas, sour cream and vanilla; blend well. Add flour, baking soda and salt; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for fifty minutes to one hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool for five minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely. Wrap tightly and store in refrigerator. Recipe makes one loaf.
