Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 3 tbsp paprika
• 4-5 cups chicken bouillon
• 4-5 chicken breasts, bone in
• 24 oz sour cream (light or regular)
• cornstarch and milk mixture
• brown rice

Method

In a large pot, on medium heat, saute onion in extra virgin olive oil until tender. Add minced garlic and paprika. Add chicken bouillon and chicken breasts to pot and cover. Cook on medium high heat for 45 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender. Add a pinch of salt to season chicken. Remove chicken from pan and set aside to rest. To pot add sour cream and bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, start a mixture (equal parts) cornstarch and milk in a small cup. This will act as a thickening agent for mixture already in pot. Turn heat down and add cornstarch and milk mixture slowly to thicken. Add more salt now if needed. Let sauce simmer on medium high heat. Meanwhile, start a pot of brown rice. I like "1 minute brown rice" because it cooks quickly and goes well with this dish. You could also use white rice instead. Once rice is cooking, return cooked chicken back to deep pan. Let set for about 5 minutes. Stir well and completely cover chicken in sauce. Turn off heat and let thicken. Serve chicken and sauce over rice and enjoy.

Notes: This recipe is perfect for a rainy (or snowy) night. It serves anywhere from 6-10 people and is WONDERFUL as leftovers.

Number of servings: 6-10
