  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4 people

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (adjust to taste)

  • 2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth

  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging chicken)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken:
    Slice the chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Lightly dredge each piece in flour.

  2. Brown the Chicken:
    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in two batches, cooking for about 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Add the remaining oil between batches as needed. Remove chicken and set aside.

  3. Sauté the Vegetables:
    In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onions. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and their moisture has evaporated.

  4. Add Flavor Boosters:
    Stir in the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to release all the aromas.

  5. Deglaze the Pan:
    Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.

  6. Simmer Together:
    Simmer for about 2 minutes over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld.

  7. Add Sour Cream:
    Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream until well combined. Warm gently for 1–2 minutes—do not boil to prevent curdling.

  8. Taste and Serve:
    Adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a tangier sauce, increase the Dijon mustard slightly.

  • Want a thicker sauce? Let it simmer for an extra 2–3 minutes before adding sour cream.

  • Use boneless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.

  • Make it gluten-free by swapping flour with cornstarch or rice flour.
