Ingredients
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1½ cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes (for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sauté until golden on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside. - Sauté the Vegetables:
Melt butter in the same skillet. Sauté onions and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, about 5 minutes. - Make the Sauce:
Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well. Gradually whisk in chicken broth to avoid lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. - Combine Ingredients:
Stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is creamy. - Serve:
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
Add vegetables like spinach or peas for extra flavor and nutrients.
