Some recipes allow you to substitute or omit an ingredient but not so here esp. so with the Sour Cream, it's a very important step in achieving the characteristic flavor. Credit for this scrumptious dish goes to Savella Stechishin of Traditional Ukrainian Cookery

How To Make ukrainian stewed chicken

Step 1

Cut chicken into serving pieces and coat with the seasoned flour

Step 2

Lightly brown in the butter and place into a roasting pan
Step 3

Add the boiling water, cover and cook in a 300 degree oven for 1 hour
Step 4

Add the veggies and seasoning and continue cooking 1 to 11/2 or till tender
Step 5

Blend the flour with the sour cream* and add to the chicken the last 1/2 hour of cooking
Step 6

* I find blending a tablespoon of the hot broth to the blended sour cream and flour helps eliminate curdling and repeat the addition of hot broth until it pours nicely.
Step 7

Savella suggests Garnishing with Dill,
Step 8

Olga likes to serve with buttered noodles and mash potatoes sprinkled with chives Enjoy
