Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- 3/4 cup full fat sour cream room temperature
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- chopped fresh parsley optional, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four cutlets. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour with the sour cream until smooth and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining butter and chopped onions to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about a minute.
- Stir in the paprika, worcestershire sauce, and chicken broth, then mix in the sour cream mixture. Bring the sauce to a simmer while stirring.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Avoid bubbling the sauce to prevent curdling. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use high-quality paprika.
Pair with egg noodles or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
Let the dish sit for a few minutes after cooking to meld the flavors.
