Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
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 heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream and lemon juice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is warm and creamy. Do not let it boil.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let simmer for 5 minutes to ensure the chicken is heated through.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
