Ingredients

Scale

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.
