Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • Flour (for dredging)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Vegetables & Sauce

  • 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

  1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper generously. Then coat each piece evenly with flour to create a light crust.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in two batches to avoid overcrowding, about 3 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and lightly browned. Flip once using tongs. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil for the second batch if the pan dries out. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Melt butter in the same pan, then add sliced mushrooms and chopped onions. Sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until the vegetables release their water, which evaporates, and the mushrooms develop a nice golden sear.
  4. Add Flavorings: Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about one minute to combine flavors.
  5. Deglaze and Combine: Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan bottom to incorporate flavor. Return the cooked chicken pieces to the pan and cook together for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream gently and heat through for about one minute without boiling to avoid curdling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is cooked through to 165°F for food safety.
  • Do not let the sour cream boil to prevent curdling; heat gently.
  • Use fresh cremini mushrooms for best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a slightly tangier and lighter sauce.
  • Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
