Method
- Pat the chicken pieces dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt, and cook for 5-7 minutes until they have released their moisture and started to brown.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring to combine. Cook for 1 minute to toast the flour. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the Dijon mustard.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly. Return the cooked chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let it gently simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for a minute. Stir in the room temperature sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not return to a boil. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over hot egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
For the Creamiest Sauce: Ensure your sour cream is at room temperature before adding it to the pan. This helps prevent it from curdling.
Mushroom Varieties: Feel free to use a mix of mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, or portobello for a more complex flavor.
