Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs (700g) chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Cook the Mushrooms:
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Sauce:
- Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken slightly.
- Add Sour Cream and Mustard:
- Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Mix well to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Combine:
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5–7 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is thickened.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- For added flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
- Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
