Description

A creamy and savory chicken dish featuring tender chicken breasts smothered in a rich sour cream and onion sauce.


Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 120 milliliters chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 240 milliliters full-fat sour cream
  • Fresh chopped parsley, optional


Instructions

  1. Halve the chicken breasts lengthwise to create four thinner pieces. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Add chicken and sear 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 74°C). Transfer to plate.
