Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Flour for dredging
Sauce and Vegetables
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or more, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or more, to taste
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Sprinkle the chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour to coat evenly.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in two batches, about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if the pan gets dry during the second batch. Set cooked chicken aside on a plate.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onions, sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until their liquid evaporates and they develop a nice sear.
- Add Seasoning: Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant to blend the flavors.
- Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the flavor. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream gently and let it warm through for about a minute without boiling to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
- Use full-fat sour cream for a richer, creamier sauce.
- If preferred, substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms or portobello slices.
- Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- To keep the sauce from curdling, avoid boiling after adding sour cream.
- Chicken can be substituted with turkey breast for a leaner option.
