Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced onion
2 large cloves garlic, sliced
1 frying chicken, cut up
1 tablespoon grainy salt-free mustard
Juice of 1 lemon
3/4 cup dry white wine
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sour cream mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch or 1 tablespoon creme fraiche
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large skillet that has a cover. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until they begin to brown. Add the onion and continue to saute until the onion has lightly browned. Stir in the garlic. Remove the ingredients from the pan, allowing as much oil as possible to remain in the pan.
Brown the chicken in the oil remaining in the pan. Remove the pieces as they brown. When all the chicken has browned and is out of the pan dissolve the mustard in the lemon juice and add this mixture to the pan along with the wine. Stir over medium-high heat to blend. Season liberally with pepper.
Return the chicken to the pan along with the mushrooms, onions and garlic and baste with the sauce. Lower heat and cook slowly for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is done. Remove chicken from the pan and stir in the sour-cream mixture or the creme fraich. Cook briefly, just long enough for the sauce to thicken somewhat. Return chicken to the pan, stir in the dill, baste with the sauce and serve.
