Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 piece small onion, chopped
• 1 piece green bell pepper, diced
• 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup skim milk
• 0.5 cup low fat sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, green and red bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to combine, cooking for another minute.

Step 6

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps. Then add the skim milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat sour cream. Season with salt and black pepper, mixing thoroughly.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine with the sauce. Let the chicken warm through for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Chicken a la King over rice, toast, or pasta of your choice for a complete meal.
