Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Flour for dredging
Cooking Fats
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
Vegetables
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or more, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or more, to taste
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Sprinkle the chicken pieces evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then dredge each piece in flour to lightly coat them for a crispy texture when cooked.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in two batches, cooking about 3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if the pan gets dry during the second batch. Remove the cooked chicken and set aside on a plate.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, melt the butter and add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onions. Sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until the vegetables release their moisture and then brown nicely.
- Add Seasoning: Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until the mixture is fragrant, blending the flavors.
- Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth while scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Return the cooked chicken pieces to the pan and simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine everything.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sour cream, gently warming it through for about a minute without boiling to prevent curdling. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat sour cream for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Do not boil after adding sour cream to avoid curdling; warm gently.
- You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms if preferred.
- Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- Make sure chicken pieces are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
