Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder on both sides.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and sear them for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, sprinkle the flour over the drippings and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a creamy sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top of each piece.
Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or black pepper, if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
