Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

Dredge each chicken breast lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom to deglaze the pan, loosening any browned bits for extra flavor.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the sour cream until smooth. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and sauce before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
