Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup low-fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and garlic, stirring well to coat.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the low-fat sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Cover and simmer the chicken in the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve the chicken hot with the creamy mushroom sauce spooned over the top and enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal.
