Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or 4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water (NOT boiling)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 (8 ounce) container low-fat sour cream (Cabot Light preferred)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large skillet, saute onion in the oil until tender.
  • Sprinkle chicken with paprika and white pepper and place in an ungreased roasting pan.
  • Spoon sauteed onions over the chicken parts; add hot water to roasting pan.
  • Cover and bake in preheated oven for 11/2 hours or until juices run clear.
  • Remove chicken from oven, reserve pan juices for the sauce and keep the chicken warm while you make the sauce.
  • To make the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  • Whisk in the pan juices from the chicken; bring to barely a boil over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring until thickened.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream; serve hot over the chicken which I serve over hot cooked noodles (whole wheat preferred) or hot cooked brown rice.
