Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks

8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients: dice onion, slice mushrooms, mince garlic, and cut chicken into chunks.

2. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Season chicken with salt and pepper, add to skillet in a single layer, and sear for 4–5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

4. Add remaining butter to the pan. Sauté onion until soft, about 3–4 minutes.

5. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and all moisture is gone, around 5–7 minutes.

6. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

7. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir to coat evenly.

8. Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer until slightly reduced.

9. Lower the heat and stir in sour cream, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Do not boil.

10. Return the chicken to the pan and let it simmer in the sauce for 2–3 minutes.

11. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

12. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

To avoid curdling, don’t let the sauce boil once sour cream is added.

Cook mushrooms until all liquid has evaporated to get maximum flavor.

For extra richness, use chicken thighs instead of breast meat.
