"If you do not use coconut flour or have sour cream on hand, this is what I have done with great results. I used cream cheese and no flour. Just whisked in the cheese to the sauce in the pan. The servings are relative to how many chicken pieces you use. I use only 2 chicken legs and thighs as it is only the two of us."

Original is 4 servings

This is easy to make and the instructions are fine, but we were a little disappointed in the finished product. It took me forever to find coconut flour (and it is pricey!), and I assume that using it was for gluten-free reasons, not taste, because we tasted no coconut. The sauce never thickened up enough and had a gritty texture. This is all personal preferences and not the recipes fault. I will try this again and just use regular flour or cornstarch. ETA: I tried some of the flour on a spoon and it is gritty. I am told there are finer grinds, but at the prices, I will just use all-purpose flour. Other than the grittiness, the flavors were fine, so I have upped my stars to 4 because the problems were not the recipes fault,

Loved this combination, absolutely delicious! Subbed butter for the coconut oil simply because I did not have it on hand, did have the coconut flour. Used sour cream but looking forward to making it with cream cheese next time around. Yes there will be next times for this great tasting chicken. Another winner!

I'm not sure if I should even rate this I did make a few changes. I didn't use ccoconut oil and I looked forever trying to find coconut flour so I didn't use either and instead of the sour cream I used Philly cooking cream. I giving it 5 stars because even with all the changes it was still very good and everyone loved it. I made this for the Billboard tag game in the community forum. thank you!

Lovely recipe that uses ingredients that I enjoy. I'm just not sure all of the flavors went together. It couldn't decide if it was Hungarian or Asian lol. My Mom threw this together for me on a night I didn't feel like cooking, and she browned frozen chicken tenders on the foreman grill while she was sauteeing the onion and garlic. She didn't like having to remove the chicken to stir in the flour and sour cream. We also had to add salt. I can't figure out why we could barely taste the Hungarian paprika...it usually has a nice strong flavor. We enjoyed this over jasmine rice with a salad. Made for the Billboard recipe tag game.
