Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the sour cream, onion powder, and parsley to the skillet, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sour cream and onion sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the Sour Cream and Onion Chicken hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
