Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Cooked egg noodles or rice (for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add onions and mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring, making sure no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Add Creaminess: Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, until warmed through.
- Serve: Serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Use skinless chicken thighs for a richer, juicier taste.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
