Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring Cups
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup dry white wine or use more chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ cup sour cream full-fat
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour optional, for thickening
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and garlic until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and their moisture has evaporated.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Let reduce slightly, then add chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Stir well.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
  • If using, sprinkle flour into the sauce and stir to thicken. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream gently. Do not boil.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

To avoid curdling, do not let the sour cream boil. For a gluten-free option, replace the flour with cornstarch slurry. Pair with a crisp salad for balance.
