Cut the chicken breast into thin strips or small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sautΓ© for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and their liquid has mostly evaporated.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the chicken pieces to the empty side.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is browned on the outside and cooked through.
Sprinkle the paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chicken and vegetables, then stir to combine everything in the skillet.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry. Add this to the skillet while stirring to thicken the sauce slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Do not let the mixture boil to avoid curdling the sour cream.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Simmer for another 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy alone or with brown rice, whole-grain noodles, or zucchini noodles for a low-calorie option.
