Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 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

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Add the flour to the skillet and stir constantly for 1 minute until fully incorporated to create a roux.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken before serving.

Step 9

Serve the sour cream chicken with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
