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.
