Ingredients

1.5 lbs chicken breasts or thighs, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, add remaining butter. Sauté chopped onions until translucent, then add mushrooms and cook until browned.

3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to coat.

4. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring. Add Dijon mustard and stir until smooth.

5. Lower the heat and stir in sour cream and heavy cream. Simmer until slightly thickened.

6. Return chicken to the skillet and let it warm through for 3–5 minutes.

7. Garnish with parsley and serve over noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Notes

If reheating, add a splash of broth or cream to bring the sauce back to life.

For extra flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine before adding broth.
