Tender chicken cooked with mushrooms in a creamy sauce, ideal over noodles or rice.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken

01 - 1.3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized strips
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

→ Vegetables

05 - 9 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
06 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Sauce

08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
09 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
10 - 1 cup chicken stock
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 teaspoon paprika
13 - 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
14 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

# Directions:

01 - Season chicken with salt and pepper, then evenly coat with flour.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in batches until golden on all sides but not fully cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
03 - Add remaining olive oil and butter to skillet. Sauté onions and mushrooms until tender and golden, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
04 - Sprinkle in paprika, then pour in chicken stock while scraping browned bits from the pan. Stir in Dijon mustard.
05 - Return chicken and any collected juices to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7 to 8 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce slightly thickens.
06 - Remove skillet from heat. Incorporate sour cream and chopped parsley, stirring until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
07 - Transfer to serving dishes and garnish with additional parsley. Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
