Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cups dry sherry
• 0.75 cups chicken broth
• 1 cups sour cream
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts lightly between two pieces of plastic wrap to even out their thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and started bubbling, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet with the dry sherry, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with rice, noodles, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
