Chicken, mushrooms, and onions in a creamy sauce, served with herbs over noodles or rice.
# Components:
→ Chicken
01 - 1.3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized strips
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
→ Vegetables
05 - 9 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
06 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
→ Sauce
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
09 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
10 - 1 cup chicken stock
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 teaspoon paprika
13 - 1/2 cup sour cream, full-fat recommended
14 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
# Directions:
01 - Season chicken with salt and pepper, then coat evenly with flour.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Sauté chicken strips in batches until golden on all sides but not cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
03 - Add remaining oil and butter to the skillet. Sauté the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms until softened and lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
04 - Sprinkle paprika over the vegetables, then pour in chicken stock. Scrape up any browned bits from the pan and stir in Dijon mustard.
05 - Return the browned chicken and juices to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7 to 8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened.
06 - Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and chopped parsley until sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
07 - Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with extra parsley.
