This recipe has me confused. I admit not getting the literary reference. I chose to make it because I liked the ingredients. I should, perhaps have looked more carefully at the amounts. 1 pound of chicken for 6 people? 1/2 cup tomato juice to simmer said chicken in for 1 hour? It doesn't really make sense to me. So, because I did want dinner, I changed things around quite a lot. I used a little over 1 pound of chicken (2 bone-in thighs), 2 medium onions and about 1 cup mushrooms that I needed to use up. I browned the chicken at first, then removed it from the pan and cooked the onions and mushrooms. 2 tablespoons of paprika seemed a bit much, even though I do like it. I used 2 teaspoons in the beginning and didn't add more after tasting. I used the stated amount of tomato juice and then added 2 cups chicken stock, because I don't like burnt food. I used yogurt cheese instead of sour cream, doubling the amount, while leaving the amount of flour as is. So, you see, my dinner tonight is not much like the recipe's dish. However, for the combination of ingredients, I think I'll go with 3 stars. Thank you for giving me a chance to use my cooking skills.

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
