1 1/2 cups sour cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions 1. Place the chicken in a 12 inch skillet. Salt and pepper the pieces. Brown the chicken over medium heat.

2. Partially peel the new potatoes. (They just look better with some of the red skins remaining.) Add the potatoes to the skillet. Cook the chicken and the potatoes until both are tender.

3. Remove the chicken and potatoes to a platter. Skim off the excess fat remaining in the pan.

4. Snip the green onions into the pan. Add the sour cream and water and heat the mixture until it starts to bubble, stirring frequently with a spatula.

5. Add the peas, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir.

Add the chicken and potatoes, cover and heat for five minutes to reheat the chicken and potatoes. Serve hot. Oh my word it is so good, and will tickle your taste buds.
