Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
Dredge each chicken breast lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom to deglaze the pan, loosening any browned bits for extra flavor.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the sour cream until smooth. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and sauce before serving.
Serve hot with sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
