Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (cremini or white button), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Dairy

  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream

Thickening Agent

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch

Fats & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Herbs & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more butter if needed. Cook chopped onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release moisture and become golden brown.
  3. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring to combine. Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer until it thickens into a smooth mushroom gravy.
  4. Finish with Cream and Chicken: Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream and smoked paprika. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and gently toss to coat with the creamy mushroom gravy. Simmer a few more minutes to blend flavors and ensure chicken is cooked through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top, and serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use room temperature chicken for even cooking and tenderness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; sear chicken in batches for a golden crust.
  • Sauté mushrooms thoroughly for richer flavor.
  • Add chicken broth gradually while stirring to prevent lumps.
  • Stir in sour cream off the heat or on low to prevent curdling.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill add brightness to complement the rich sauce.
