This chicken and vegetable stew with sour cream is a cozy one-pan dinner packed with colorful vegetables and tender chicken. Everything braises together until the flavors meld, then a spoonful of sour cream off the heat makes the sauce silky and rich, much like this Hearty Chicken and Vegetable Stew. Serve it on its own or with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
