ReceptnaptárBakony-style chicken with mushrooms and sour cream
In Hungarian cooking, the word bakonyi marks dishes made with mushrooms, sour cream and paprika, and it refers to the forests of the Bakony hills, famous for their mushrooms. Alongside the bakonyi pork cutlet, this chicken version has become a classic too, and it is quicker to make. Chicken, mushrooms and a sour cream sauce add up to a simple, hearty dish that is at its best with nokedli.

Tips
- Fry the mushrooms over a fairly high heat so that their liquid evaporates and does not thin the sauce.
- Chicken breast dries out quickly, so do not braise it longer than necessary. Boneless thigh is far more forgiving and stays juicier too.
- Mix the sour cream smooth with the flour and loosen it with a little hot sauce before pouring it into the pan, so that it does not curdle.
Frequently asked questions
Which side dish goes with it?
Nokedli is the classic choice, but rice or boiled pasta also work. A cucumber salad freshens up the sour cream sauce.
How long does it keep?
It keeps for 3 days in a container in the fridge. Reheat it over a low heat, because the sour cream sauce can split if it boils hard.
