Chicken Breasts in a Sour Cream and Wine Sauce
- 3 slices bacon
- 1/3 cup butter
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)
- 4 green onions (white part only), chopped
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cube chicken bouillon
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups uncooked white rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon toasted slivered almonds
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Crumble when cool; set bacon aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Spray a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the chicken breast halves until brown on both sides, about 6 minutes per side (meat will still be pink inside).
- Arrange the chicken breasts in the baking dish, and scatter the mushrooms over the chicken.
- Cook the green onions in the hot skillet over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes; stir in paprika and flour.
- Fry the flour mixture for about 1 minute.
- Mash the bouillon cube in 1/4 cup of hot water in a small bowl, and whisk the bouillon into the flour mixture.
- Bring to a boil (sauce will be thick).
- Gradually whisk white wine into the skillet, and bring to a simmer.
- Stir the sour cream into the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- About half an hour before chicken is done, bring the rice and 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Let rice stand covered for about 10 minutes.
- To serve, spoon the cooked rice onto a serving platter, and top with the chicken breasts.
- Stir remaining sauce in the dish, and spoon over the chicken; garnish with crumbled bacon and slivered almonds.
