Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth. Gradually whisk this mixture into the skillet to create a creamy sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nesting them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Stir the sauce occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the skillet.
Once cooked, garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
