This happened when my business trip absence, without reducing the appetite of my other half, forced him not only to take a closer look at how his beloved prepares delicious dishes at home, but also to take a direct part in it. Of course, there was a lot of food in the refrigerator, but he loves this bird so much, especially chicken legs with cartilage in milk sauce and cutlets made from this meat with mushrooms and homemade chips!
Having delved into the convolutions, the husband, with great spiritual desire and rumbling in his stomach, began forward movements towards: chicken, a refrigerator with milk and sour cream, other food products for the recipe, as well as a frying pan and a home stove. But in my worries I forgot to take a photo of the ingredients and something else, for which I was mercilessly beaten by batogs (just kidding), so don’t judge too harshly.
Chicken cooked in a milk sauce with the addition of sour cream in a frying pan is particularly tender, soft and juicy, and the resulting gravy will be an excellent addition to any side dish. So, if your family, unlike you, do not like any of the cereals or do not eat pasta, you can safely cook it for dinner, but only in the company of such a chicken. Believe me, there will be no trace left of both the meat and the side dish sprinkled with milk sauce.
Basic recipe for making cream
To prepare a classic cream sauce, you need to use the following ingredients:
- 0.2 l cream;
- 1 tbsp. l. flour;
- 1 tbsp. l. butter;
- salt.
Step by step recipe:
- Sift flour through a sieve.
- Heat in a dry frying pan until golden brown, stirring constantly.
- Add cream in small portions. To prevent lumps from forming, mix well.
- Add salt.
- Bring to a thick consistency. The moment to turn off the stove will come when bubbles begin to appear, as in the process of boiling liquid.
If lumps still form, the mixture must be strained using a fine sieve and brought to a boil again.
There is another simplified sauce recipe in case the previous version does not turn out perfect. To create it you need the following components:
- cream – 0.2 l;
- starch – 2 tsp;
- butter – 1 tbsp. l.;
- salt;
- mustard – 0.5 tsp;
- dry white wine – 50 ml;
- garlic;
- a mixture of dried Italian herbs.
Cooking method:
- Dilute starch in 50 ml of cream.
- Heat the remaining cream almost until it boils.
- Introduce starch in a thin stream. At the same time, constantly stir with a spoon.
- At the point of boiling, add mustard, wine, herbs. Add salt.
- Heat until the alcoholic aroma disappears. This will take up to 5 minutes.
- Add oil and pressed garlic.
- Warm up for 1-2 minutes. Switch off.
It is allowed to add pieces of ham, sautéed onions, and mushrooms. It depends on the taste preferences of the housewife or household members.
The finished sauce is usually combined with chicken or other meat and vegetable dishes.
Cooking features
- Density.
- The sauce will be thick at a ratio of 3 tbsp. flour and 60 gr. butter for 150-170 ml of milk;
- medium - with a ratio of 3 tbsp. flour and 40 gr. butter for 150-170 ml of milk;
- liquid - at a ratio of 3 tbsp. flour and 20 gr. butter for 150-170 ml of milk.
- Thickeners.
This is usually flour or starch. Flour should be fried without oil or fried in oil before adding to the sauce - this prevents the appearance of lumps and the appearance of a nutty aroma.
Flour calcined without oil can be stored for future use. It should be stored in jars with a ground-in lid in a dry place.
Starch is not subjected to heat treatment; it is dissolved in 1-3 tablespoons of cooled boiled water and poured into the sauce.
You can thicken milk sauce not only with flour or starch, but also with egg yolk. You cannot boil the sauce when adding them; ideally, it should be cooked in a water bath.
- Milk and butter.
Fresh milk is most often used. You need to add it to the sauce a little at a time, whisking the sauce after each introduction. Some recipes use sour milk or coconut milk.
The butter will melt better and faster if it is at room temperature (lying on the table), but you should not melt the butter specifically for the sauce.
- Supplements
When adding spices and spices, the sauce is transformed.
The milk sauce mutes the harshness and heat of the spices. It softens their taste even with significant additions.
Good options are achieved by adding:
- in salty sauce - black pepper or paprika, nutmeg or ginger, dill or sesame seeds, cumin or bay leaf, turmeric or tomato paste, salt.
- for sweet - cinnamon, vanilla, cocoa, sugar.
Adding lemon juice can curdle the sauce!

- Butter – 20-30 g
- Garlic – 2-3 cloves
- Curry – 1 teaspoon
- Ground black pepper - to taste
- Salt - to taste
Preparation:
Wash the chicken and remove the skin. In my opinion, the chicken is too oily if you leave the skin on.
Place the frying pan on the fire and melt the butter in it.
Fry the chicken in melted butter. The chicken must be fried on both sides over high heat for literally 1 - 2 minutes, it should set on the outside so that all the juices are sealed inside and remain raw inside. This will give the chicken a lighter color. If there is a lot of chicken, you can fry it in two batches. Salt and pepper the chicken when frying.
Transfer the fried chicken to a plate, cover with a lid to keep it warm and set aside for a while.
Prepare milk sauce. In the pan in which the chicken was fried, combine the milk with salt, pepper and curry.
Remove the zest from the lemon, we only need the yellow part, so try not to touch the white layer. The most convenient way to remove the zest is with a potato peeler. There is no need to additionally grind the zest.
Add the lemon zest to the milk sauce, place the sauce on the stove and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. There is no need to boil the sauce; as soon as it boils, turn it off immediately.
Peel the garlic and cut into thin slices.
Place the garlic on the bottom of the mold with the milk sauce and place the prepared chicken in the mold.
Pour the sauce over the areas of the chicken not covered with sauce and place the chicken in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 1 hour. During cooking, be sure to open the oven 2-3 times to pour the sauce over the areas of the chicken protruding to the surface.
After an hour, the chicken in milk in the oven is ready, serve it hot with any side dish of your choice. In my opinion, this chicken goes perfectly with mashed potatoes.
