Ingredients
Scale
For the chicken:
- 2 chicken breast halves
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, as desired
- Flour, for coating
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra as needed
For the creamy mushroom sauce:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or to taste)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or to taste)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breast halves into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Coat each piece lightly with flour to help achieve a crust while cooking.
- Cook the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken pieces without overcrowding and cook about 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Flip once for even browning. Transfer to a plate. Add more olive oil if needed, cook the remaining chicken, then add to the plate.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter. Once melted, add sliced cremini mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release moisture, which evaporates, and they become nicely seared.
- Add flavorings: Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Deglaze and simmer: Pour in chicken broth and scrape browned bits from the pan bottom with a wooden spoon. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally so flavors meld and chicken warms through.
- Finish with sour cream: Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until sauce is smooth. Heat through for about 1 minute but do not boil to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking chicken to ensure proper browning.
- Use full-fat sour cream for a richer, creamier sauce texture.
- Cook garlic briefly in the sauce step to avoid bitterness from burning.
- Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
