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
- Slice the chicken breasts in half to create four thinner cutlets. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to a plate.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour and sour cream until smooth. Set this mixture aside.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining butter and onions to the skillet, sautéing until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and chicken broth. Then, add the sour cream mixture, whisking until combined, and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F) and the sauce thickens slightly. Avoid excessive bubbling to prevent curdling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the seasoning for 30 minutes before cooking.
Serve this dish over rice or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper.
