Chicken in Sour Cream, and Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup

I have to admit that my favourite piece of chicken is the thigh. It has so much more flavour than the breast. And lots more meat than the drumstick.  I love using the Man-Pleasing Chicken recipe, but variety is good too. I found an interesting recipe over at AllRecipes and decided to tweak it a little bit.  First of all, I have no Cream of Mushroom Soup and couldn't find a substitute recipe. So I came up with this one that was a complete hit, except for the mushroom haters. Ken has Type 2 Diabetes so I have to use healthy whenever possible. 

Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup

Melt butter (I used unsalted) 

Add chopped mushrooms and saute until slightly brown

Add chopped garlic, flour, 1 cup milk
Heat to a nice roux.

Chicken in Sour Cream

Original recipe makes 4 servings

8 chicken thighs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pinch ground black pepper

Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 cup sour cream (I used light)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Directions:
Place chicken in a 9 x 13 inch greased baking dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
