Chicken in the oven with champignons turns out to be very fragrant and juicy. It is baked in sour cream and thanks to this it acquires a special, unsurpassed taste. You can bake the whole chicken, or in separate pieces.
Ingredients:
- champignons - 500 g;
- ground black pepper - to taste;
- ground paprika - 2 tsp;
- garlic - 4 cloves;
- sour cream 20% - 7 tablespoons;
- salt to taste;
- chicken - 1 pc.
Preparation:
Wash the chicken in cold running water, free it from all excess and cut it into pieces with a sharp knife. Put the pieces in a deep container, sprinkle with pepper and salt. Adjust the amount of pepper and salt based on personal preference.
Add sour cream and with clean hands mix the pieces of meat thoroughly so that the sauce envelops them on all sides. Cover the container and place in the refrigerator for half an hour. If you have plenty of time, marinate the meat overnight.
Rinse the mushrooms in water and place in a baking dish. Place the pre-peeled garlic cloves between the mushrooms. Season with pepper and salt to taste.
Place the pickled chicken pieces on top of the mushrooms. Sprinkle with paprika on top. Cover the tin with foil and place in the oven preheated to 250oC.
Keep the dish in the oven for half an hour. Next, remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until tender. The baked chicken will be covered with a golden crust.
Serve hot cooked chicken and mushrooms with, for example, boiled potatoes, sour cream sauce, light vegetable salad and slices of black or white bread.
