Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lbs chicken (I used legs, and thighs)

1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp celery seed
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
2 tsp minced garlic
1 medium sized onion (chopped)

Steps:

  • Start off by making sure that all of the chicken is nice and clean.
  • Pour 1 1/2 cup flour into a large bowl, and add in seasonings : garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, celery seed, poultry seasoning, and smoked paprika. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Coat the chicken with the seasoned flour, and make sure you coat all surfaces.
  • Reserve the seasoned flour
  • Pour 1/4 cup of vegetable oil into a large pan, then place the plan over medium heat.
  • Start adding in the chicken, but be sure to not over crowd the pan ( use a pan big enough to hold all of the chicken).
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown(DO NOT worry about cooking the chicken until done, because we will cook it some more).
  • Once the chicken is nice and browned, remove it from the pan. Leave the oil in the pan.
  • Toss in the onions, and cook them for about 2 minutes, then add in the garlic. Once the garlic is in the pan let it cook for an additional minute, then remove the onions and garlic from the pan.
  • Add three tbsp of the seasoned flour (the same flour that you coat the chicken with) to the pan. Stir in with the oil.
  • Next pour in 2 cups of chicken broth. Whisk in while pouring in the broth. Make sure there aren't any lumps.
  • Let the gravy cook for about 2 minutes ( still on medium heat), then pour in 1 cup of milk into the pan.
  • Let the creamy gravy cook for about 3 minutes, then start adding the chicken back into the pan, as well as the onions and garlic.
  • Make sure all of the chicken is coated with the creamy gravy.
  • Place a lid on the pan, then let the chicken cook for 30-35 minutes. Be sure to occasionally turn the chicken.
  • Once done serve the chicken with rice or mashed potatoes.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of pierogies. You can use any type of pierogies you like, but a good mix of potato, cheese, and sauerkraut pierogies is a classic choice.
  • Cook the pierogies until they are golden brown. This will give them a nice crispy texture. Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pierogies, or they will steam instead of fry.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. The chicken broth is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use homemade chicken broth or a store-bought broth that is low in sodium.
  • Simmer the chicken and pierogies in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
  • Serve the smothered chicken and pierogies with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. This will add a nice finishing touch to the dish.

Conclusion:

Smothered chicken with pierogies is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pierogies add a unique twist to the classic smothered chicken dish, and the creamy sauce is simply irresistible. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
