Chicken Baked 'n' Butter and Cream

This recipe is from a now closed iconic Kansas City restaurant, Stephensons, and is a great dish to serve for company -- I especially like to do it for ladies luncheons as it is in the oven and forget it! And it always turns out perfectly!


I had company for a Valentine's luncheon yesterday and this is what I served.




STEPHENSON'S CHICKEN BAKED 'N' BUTTER AND CREAM


The original recipe calls for a whole fryer, cut up, but I make it with mostly breasts -- boneless and skinless but not the frozen ones -- too puny but rather the ones in the meat case which are meatier. You could also make it with thighs or legs if you prefer. It's just a good way to cook chicken! And yes -- you do need real cream and real butter!


1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. paprika
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 c. butter
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Mix flour, salt, paprika and pepper. Dip chicken in water. Coat with mixture of flour and seasonings. Put skin side up (if it has skin) into 13 s 9 baking pan. Dot with butter. Bake in preheated 425 oven for 30 minutes (or until golden brown). Remove from oven. Pour cream around chicken (not over — around). Cover with foil. Return to oven and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
