Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Sauce:

  • 8 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 2/3 cup sour cream, sub with full-fat or 2% plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper, to taste

To Serve:

  • 8-10 ounces pasta or pasta of choice, mashed potatoes, rice, etc
  • freshly chopped parsley or chives

Instructions

  • Season chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
    If using whole chicken breast, slice down the center lengthwise to thin the breast out to ensure even cooking.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place chicken in skillet. Sear each side 3-4 minutes until golden.
    Using an instant read thermometer, ensure the center of the chicken is cooked to a minimum of 160 degrees F (see notes).
  • Remove chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Increase heat to high and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once melted and bubbling, add the mushrooms and cook until they are golden/crisp and the water has evaporated from the pan.
    Remove mushrooms to same plate as chicken.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add the chopped onions. Once translucent, add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add flour, stir well until absorbed, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add 1 cup of stock at a time, scraping along the bottom of the pan to remove any brown bits. The brown bits are flavor! Add remaining stock and whisk until no floury clumps remain.
  • Allow sauce to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream, mustard, and worcestershire sauce. Stir until blended. Season with paprika, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce reaches a pourable creamy consistency.
    Keep in mind, the sauce will thicken when served over noodles as the noodles will absorb some of the liquid. If the sauce gets too thick, pour a splash or two of additional stock in to thin.
  • Add chicken and mushrooms back to pan with any juices that are on the plate. Cook for 2-3 additional minutes to re-warm.
  • Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, etc. garnished with freshly chopped parsley or chives.

Notes

Chicken needs to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F to be safe for consumption. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast to check.
