Description
Sour Cream and Onion Chicken is a creamy, flavorful dish that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner. Tender chicken breasts are sautéed and simmered in a rich sour cream sauce with onions and garlic.
Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter divided
1 medium onion sliced
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup sour cream full-fat
Fresh chopped parsley optional
to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken again and stir in the sour cream and remaining tablespoon of butter until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, let the dish simmer a bit longer for deeper onion and garlic flavors. Serve this dish over rice or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
