Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
Vegetables:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Sear chicken pieces in hot olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and caramelized, approximately 5-6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a separate plate.
- In the identical skillet, melt butter and sauté mushrooms and onions until mushrooms develop rich brown edges and onions become translucent, around 5 minutes.
- Introduce minced garlic and briefly toast for 60 seconds, releasing aromatic flavors.
- Dust vegetables with flour, stirring thoroughly to coat and eliminate raw flour’s powdery essence, cooking 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually stream chicken broth into the skillet, continuously whisking to generate a velvety, lump-free sauce. Allow mixture to gently simmer.
- Reintroduce seared chicken to the skillet, reducing heat to low. Incorporate sour cream, creating a luxuriously smooth and creamy consistency.
- Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring chicken reaches optimal tenderness and sauce achieves desired thickness.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top and serve alongside preferred starch like pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Prevent chicken from drying out by using boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs and avoiding overcooking.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend.
- Enhance flavor depth by using cremini or wild mushrooms instead of standard white mushrooms for a more robust taste profile.
- Boost protein and nutrition by serving over quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lighter alternative to traditional pasta.
