Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, sliced into strips
- 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the mushrooms and onions: In the same pan, add onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until onions soften and mushrooms release their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make the roux: Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture, stir to coat, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add broth and thicken: Pour in chicken broth, whisking to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Finish with sour cream: Stir in sour cream and adjust seasoning. Return chicken to the pan and let everything heat through for 3-4 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Substitution: Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Tip: Add a splash of lemon juice for extra brightness, or a pinch of Dijon mustard for depth.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
