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 thinner cutlets and season with salt & pepper and garlic powder.
- Heat the 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. Transfer to a plate.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour with sour cream until smooth and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium, add the remaining butter and onions to the skillet, and sauté until softened and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute.
- Stir in paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and chicken broth, then add the sour cream mixture and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked (165F) and the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning as needed and garnish with parsley if using.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
