Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup baby bella or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free option)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for serving

Instructions

 

  1. Cook the Chicken – Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sauté until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Veggies – In the same pan, add 1 tbsp butter, mushrooms, and onions. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Make the Sauce – Sprinkle in flour, then whisk in chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits.
  4. Add the Chicken Back – Return the cooked chicken to the pan and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in Sour Cream – Remove from heat and mix in sour cream until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve and Enjoy – Serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Do not boil the sour cream; stir it in at the end to prevent curdling.
  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
  • Add a splash of white wine while deglazing for extra depth of flavor.
