In plastic bag, shake chicken with 2 tb of the flour. In nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; cook chicken, turning once, for 15-20 minutes or until well browned and juices run clear when chicken is pierced. Remove from pan; set aside and keep warm.

Drain off fat from skillet. Add mushrooms, carrot, onion, garlic, thyme, lemon rind, salt and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring often, for about 10 minutes or until mushrooms are browned.

Whisk remaining flour into stock; pour into pan and cook, stirring to deglaze pan, for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in sour cream. Return chicken to pan; cook, without boiling, for 5 minutes or until chicken is heated through.

Makes 4-6 servings

Serve with egg noodles richly flecked with chopped parsley and lemon rind.
