Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breast halves cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • all-purpose flour for coating
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus extra as needed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for the sauce
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 0.5 medium onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard or to taste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce or to taste
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 0.67 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup full-fat sour cream room temperature

Equipment

  • Deep skillet or saute pan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Meat thermometer
  • Shallow bowls for dredging

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat each piece lightly in all-purpose flour on all sides to build a golden crust and help thicken the sauce.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in two batches, about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until moisture evaporates and mushrooms are golden brown.
  4. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth. Heat gently for 1 minute but do not boil. Taste and adjust salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat with a splash of chicken broth. Do not boil when reheating to keep the sour cream sauce smooth. Serve over wide egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or basmati rice. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
