Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
2 tbsp butter
-
8 oz mushrooms, sliced

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

½ cup sour cream
-
½ tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Sear chicken until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
-
In the same pan, melt butter. Add mushrooms and cook until browned. Add onion and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook briefly.
-
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir. Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring to create a smooth sauce. Add mustard and simmer 3–4 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Return chicken to the pan and let simmer for 5 minutes on low.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt. Add spinach or kale near the end for extra nutrients. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
