Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 chicken breasts
Aromatics and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
Cooking and Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) butter
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cremini mushrooms, sliced
- Flour for dredging
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) full-fat sour cream
Instructions
- Generously coat chicken pieces with seasoned flour, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat oil in a large skillet and sear chicken until golden brown and slightly crisp, then transfer to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and quickly sauté mushrooms and onions until they release their moisture and turn translucent, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Introduce minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to develop rich, complex flavors.
- Pour chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, creating a flavorful base.
- Return chicken to the skillet, reduce heat, and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, ensuring chicken is cooked through and sauce slightly thickens.
- Remove from heat and carefully fold in sour cream, creating a creamy, luxurious texture without curdling.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve immediately over preferred starch or pasta.
Notes
- Coating chicken in flour helps create a crispy exterior and thickens the sauce naturally.
- Choose low-sodium broth to control salt levels and prevent dish from becoming too salty.
- For gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or rice flour and use tamari instead of Worcestershire sauce.
- Opt for Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative to sour cream without compromising creamy texture.
