Pan-fried chicken in dill sauce
My grandmother always said that when cooking chicken, you shouldn’t season it too much, so that the chicken doesn’t lose its characteristic flavor. The only seasoning she used with chicken, besides black pepper and salt, was dill. I remember chicken in dill sauce with potatoes from my childhood. I’m sharing the concept of this dish here, so that everyone can modify this dish to their liking, adding garlic, onion, or other seasonings. My grandmother always made the sauce with sour cream, but you can also use whipped cream.

Preparation time: 45 minutes to 1 hour
Level: Easy
Quantity: for two
Ingredients:
6 chicken legs
50 g butter for browning
A handful of fresh or frozen, chopped dill
0.5 to 1 tsp flour for thickening the sauce
100 g sour cream
Sea salt and black pepper for seasoning
Preparation:
- Heat the butter in a pan over a medium heat, add the chicken legs and brown them for about 5 minutes.
- When the chicken is browned, add about 100 ml of water, season with sea salt and black pepper, add the chopped dill, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for about 20 minutes over a medium heat.
- Gently stir the chicken legs. When the water has evaporated, add a little water, but there should not be much water left in the end, and simmer for about 10 minutes more.
- Dissolve the flour in a little cold water. Do not pour everything into the sauce; it may become too thick.
- Place the chicken legs on a plate and add the flour and sour cream dissolved in water to the chicken stewing broth. Stir quickly and let the sauce thicken. If necessary, add water to get the desired amount of sauce and the desired thickness. If the sauce is too liquid, add the remaining dissolved flour.
- Season the sauce with pepper and salt if desired, and add dill if you need a stronger dill flavor.
- Place the chicken legs in the sauce, shake with dill, and serve with boiled potatoes or oven-baked potatoes
