Ingredients
- 500g (1 lb) chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 200g (7 oz) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 250ml (1 cup) chicken broth
- 120ml (½ cup) heavy cream
- 120ml (½ cup) sour cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2️⃣ Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more butter if needed. Sauté onions until soft (2-3 minutes), then add garlic and cook for another minute.
3️⃣ Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they soften and release their moisture (about 5 minutes).
4️⃣ Make the Sauce: Stir in paprika, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chicken broth. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
5️⃣ Add the Creamy Touch: Reduce heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Mix well until smooth.
6️⃣ Combine and Simmer: Return the chicken to the pan, stir to coat, and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning as needed.
7️⃣ Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Notes
1️⃣ Avoid Overcooking the Chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so cook them just until golden brown. If using thighs, they’ll stay juicier even with extra cooking time.
2️⃣ Prevent Sauce Curdling: Add sour cream and heavy cream over low heat to keep the sauce smooth. Stir constantly to blend everything without separation.
3️⃣ Let the Flavors Develop: Simmering the dish for a few extra minutes allows the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld, making the dish even richer and more delicious.
