Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Flour (for dredging)
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
For the Sauce:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or more, to taste)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or more, to taste)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.
2️⃣ Cook the Chicken:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken in two batches, about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
If the pan becomes dry, add the remaining tablespoon of oil for the second batch.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
3️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms and onions, sautéing for 6-8 minutes until their liquid evaporates and they are nicely browned.
4️⃣ Add Seasoning:
Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic.
Cook for about 1 minute, letting the flavors meld.
5️⃣ Deglaze the Pan:
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6️⃣ Finish with Sour Cream:
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, warming the sauce gently for about 1 minute.
Avoid boiling the sauce to prevent curdling.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, or Worcestershire sauce, if needed.
Notes
- Make it Your Own: Swap chicken with beef or turkey for a variation.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat to preserve the sauce’s creaminess.
- Optional Add-ins: Add a splash of white wine or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for extra flavor.
