Russian Chicken with Feta Cheese

-Allrecipes.com

I'm a sucker for a good sauce recipe. I took some adjusting liberties with the directions on this one. It's supposed to serve 8 but if you consume sauce like I do (or save the remaining to top upon other things), it may be much less.

- cooked chicken breasts (diced, sliced, or in halves- any way seems to be fine. 1-2 pieces works great, but the original recipe called for 8 breasts- yikes.)

- 2 tbs. butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

- 1 tbs. flour
- 1/4 cup vodka
(white grape juice or water can substitute)
- 1 tbs. tomato paste
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper

- 1 1/2 tsp. dried parsley

- 1 1/2 cups sour cream

- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Place cooked chicken pieces into a 9x13 baking dish- set aside.
Melt butter in a wide frying pan, stir in garlic and onion and cook until onion begins to soften. Stir in flour (cook about 5 min.) then add vodka/grape juice and simmer & stir on med-high heat constantly until heated through. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Reduce heat and simmer 20 min (they say 20- I say until it's heated through.)
Pour sauce on top of chicken and put in oven preheated to 350F. Cook for 20 min. or until browned on top.

This is great with mashed potatoes, but pasta or rice would be great as well.
