Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

Step 2

Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium 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 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the sour cream, onion powder, and parsley to the skillet, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sour cream and onion sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Serve the Sour Cream and Onion Chicken hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
