Useful tips and tricks

Chicken breast in sour cream in a frying pan will retain maximum beneficial properties, and will also turn out soft and completely saturated with sour cream sauce, provided that the following subtleties are observed in the process of preparing the dish:

Basic RulesPurpose of manipulations
Use only fresh sour creamIf the product is not fresh, it will curdle during heat treatment.
Stew the breast in sour cream for about 30-40 minutesIf you simmer the meat longer, it will turn out dry and have a rubbery texture. If you reduce the time, the fillet will not have time to soak in the spices and sour cream sauce.
The meat should be salted at the end of cooking.If you add salt earlier, it will draw moisture out of the meat and the breast will also turn out dry. Therefore, when adding spices, you should take into account the inclusion of salt in the composition. If possible, it is recommended to replace salt with high-quality soy sauce.
Use young poultry meat to decorate the dish.The carcass of a young chicken contains more nutrients, and the meat has a more delicate texture and requires less time for cooking.
It is advisable to marinate the meat for about 1 hour before cooking.The marinade will saturate the meat fibers with the necessary moisture, resulting in a more tender breast. It is recommended to use mustard, kefir or mayonnaise as a marinade.
When using frozen breasts, defrost them gradually (first in the refrigerator, then at room temperature)Gradual defrosting will preserve moisture in the fibers of the meat, as well as preserve all the beneficial properties of the product.
The breast should be washed in running water before cooking.Manipulations are necessary to remove mucus and possible dirt from the product. After washing, the breast must be dried with a paper towel.
Use quality olive oil whenever possibleSunflower oil does not allow the full aroma and taste of the breast to be revealed.
Braise the breast in sour cream with the lid closedIf you cook the breast without a lid, the moisture will evaporate during the cooking process, and the dish will turn out thick and dry.
If the sour cream sauce turns out to be liquid, then you need to add about 10 g of flour to itAfter introducing the flour, the dish must be simmered for approximately 5-7 minutes.
It is recommended to add garlic (if it is included in the recipe) to the dish about 5 minutes before it is ready.If you add the product at the end of cooking, the meat will be more flavorful.

Chicken breast will turn out with a more pronounced creamy taste and a more delicate texture if you use sour cream with a high fat content (at least 25%). Additionally, for uniform stewing of meat, it is recommended to use a frying pan with a double bottom.
