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.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
