Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
1 medium onion (diced)
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
3 tbsp flour
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until browned and translucent.
Step 3: Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the mixture, stirring well to combine, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4: Gradually pour in 2 cups of chicken broth while stirring continuously for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix thoroughly.
Step 6: Return the chicken to the skillet and stir it into the sauce to coat. Heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 7: Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, use half sour cream and half cream cheese in the sauce.
Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
Add a splash of white wine when deglazing the pan before adding flour for extra depth.
Use gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat or in the microwave to prevent curdling of the sour cream. This dish does not freeze well because of the dairy content.
