Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs, sliced into bite-size pieces
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz (225 g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme or oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce)
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Optional: cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and mostly cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt additional butter if needed. Add onions and cook 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook 4–5 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown.
  4. Stir in paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return chicken to the pan and cook 2–3 minutes until fully cooked and sauce reduces slightly.
  7. Lower heat to medium-low and stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard until smooth. Cook gently—do not boil after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cook 1–2 minutes until sauce is creamy and heated through. Remove from heat.
  9. Serve over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter version (add at end off-heat).
  • Sub chicken thighs for more flavor and tenderness.
  • Feel free to add a splash of white wine before broth for depth.
  • Leftovers store well—reheat gently to preserve creaminess.
  • Add peas or spinach at the end for extra color and nutrition.
