Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, sliced
• 2 medium Bell peppers (any color), sliced
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 cups Cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, sliced carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, sour cream, all-purpose flour, and paprika until smooth. Pour the mixture over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 6

Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the sauce has thickened.

Step 7

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
