Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.75 cup sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Lightly coat each piece in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chicken broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Let the broth simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, then whisk in the sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Stir well to combine.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the sour cream gravy. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken simmer in the gravy for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning, if necessary. If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to thin it to your desired consistency.
Serve the chicken breasts topped with the sour cream gravy, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
