Equipment
- Large skillet or sauté pan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Knife + cutting board
- Measuring cups & spoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: splash of white wine for depth
Instructions
- Cook chicken: Heat oil in skillet. Sauté chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: In the same pan, cook onions and garlic until softened. Add mushrooms and cook until browned.
- Build sauce: Stir in chicken broth (and optional wine). Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add creaminess: Lower heat. Stir in sour cream gently to avoid curdling. Return chicken to pan.
- Season: Add paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer until heated through.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley. Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- For extra tenderness: Use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Healthier option: Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt.
- Make-ahead: Sauce can be prepared in advance; store separately from noodles.
- Variations: Try spicy with chili flakes, vegetarian with mushrooms only, or gluten-free with cornstarch thickener.
- Tip: Always stir sour cream in gently at the end to keep sauce silky.
