Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken breast can substitute with turkey for a lighter option
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Sour cream Greek yogurt is a healthy alternative
  • 2 tablespoons Butter swap for olive oil for a lighter dish
  • 1 cup Broth chicken or vegetable; use low-sodium for healthier cooking
For the Vegetables
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms cremini or button varieties
  • 1 medium Onion or shallots for milder sweetness
  • 2 cloves Garlic fresh is best; garlic powder is a backup
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt adjust to taste, especially with seasoned broth
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper freshly cracked is best

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather your ingredients, chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, and slice the mushrooms, onion, and garlic.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until soft. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with 1 cup of chicken broth and salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Lower heat, add ½ cup of sour cream, and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until creamy.
  6. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
