I made this simple, rather plain but hearty recipe for dinner Saturday night. It's great comfort food, especially served with peas and mashed potatoes on a cold winter night. And, BTW, it's an authentic Mennonite recipe, although I also have a very similar Amish recipe (no browning of the chicken in that one).
Mennonite Chicken Baked in Cream
1 young chicken cut in serving pieces
3 tablespoons butter
½ cup flour
1½ teaspoons salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
1½ cups sweet or sour cream
Clean and cut chicken into serving pieces.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dredge in flour.
Melt butter in a skillet or roasting pan.
Fry chicken until a golden brown on both sides.
Place chicken in a casserole or roasting pan.
Pour the cream over the chicken.
Cover and bake at 350º for about 2 hours.
Serve with a gravy made from frying in the pan.
Serves 6.
