Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine and prevent lumps.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Cover and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a complete meal.
