🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and ground black pepper.

2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender and golden.

5. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.

6. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

7. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

8. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated and smooth. Make sure not to let the sauce boil at this stage to prevent curdling.

9. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and infused with the sauce.

10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a complete meal.
