Ingredients
-
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
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
Add Flavor Boosters:
Stir in the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to release all the aromas. -
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. -
Simmer Together:
Simmer for about 2 minutes over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld. -
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. -
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.
