Tender chicken simmered in a creamy mushroom sauce, ideal over noodles or rice for an easy, flavorful dish.
# Components:
→ Chicken
01 - 1.3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized strips
02 - 1/2 tsp salt
03 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
04 - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
→ Vegetables
05 - 9 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
06 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
→ Sauce
08 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
09 - 2 tbsp olive oil
10 - 1 cup chicken stock
11 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
12 - 1 tsp paprika
13 - 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
14 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
# Method steps:
01 - Season chicken strips with salt and black pepper. Toss evenly with all-purpose flour to coat.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken in batches until golden on all sides but not fully cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and keep aside.
03 - Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to the skillet. Cook onions and mushrooms until softened and golden, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook an additional minute.
04 - Sprinkle paprika over vegetables. Pour in chicken stock while scraping the skillet to lift browned bits. Stir in Dijon mustard until combined.
05 - Return chicken and accumulated juices to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7 to 8 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce thickens.
06 - Remove skillet from heat. Stir in sour cream and chopped parsley until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to preference.
07 - Serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with additional fresh parsley.
