Awesome dish! I added some chopped mushrooms as someone had done previously, so extra liquid was provided by these. Combined with the juices from the browned chicken, I had to add a little flour after simmering for a while to thicken it up. I also used whole baby red skinned potatoes, and chopped boneless skinless chicken breasts. I didn't have quite enough garlic, and added too much dill (I think), so I mucked it up a bit. I am now a fan of fresh dill! I don't think dried would have cut it. Other than the silly BF pawning potatoes off on me and telling me he doesn't like boiled potatoes, we loved it! Next time I will use the proper amounts of garlic and dill and it should be even more awesome. I may also try it sans potatoes and over brown rice, for my picky potato eating irishman. I served this alongside some good 'ol Ontario corn. Leftovers were my absolutely delish lunch the following day. Thank you!

    Really nice dish, an ease to prepare, and has so many possibilities as noted by previous reviewers. The base recipe is great, although I did reduce the dill (fresh used here to 1/4 cup). A very aromatic dish, one that begs you to scoop up the sour/cream type gravy with a slice of bread. I added a mixture of white wine/stock here, mushrooms and served over some nice whole grain rice. Thank you for a wonderful treat, Syd! Made for Everyday is a Holiday Dec 2008

    Delicious easy to make recipe; scrumptious sauce. The fresh dill was a brilliant ingredient here, and well worth hunting out if you are making this recipe. Guided by other reviewers' mention of adding extra liquid, I saw the opportunity to add about 1/2 cup of wine in step 8. I also used Greek yoghurt instead of the sour cream (something which I standardly use in recipes calling for cream). I used skinless chicken breasts, halved. In step 5, I also added about a cup of sliced mushrooms; for me, another favourite ingredient. Next time, I'll probably add another potato as the potato pieces tasted delicious with the herby sauce and chicken. After thoroughly enjoying this dish, we had still had enough to freeze - always satisfying! Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe, Sydney Mike.

    We enjoyed this dish . I did need to add some additional pepper and salt at the table. I also added some wine and mushrooms as suggested by another reviewer. It was easy to prepare and presented well. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
