Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced thick
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth, low sodium
1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 tsp fresh thyme
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken strips with salt and black pepper.
Sear the chicken for five minutes until golden and fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining oil to the skillet and add the sliced mushrooms.
Sauté the mushrooms for eight minutes until they turn golden brown.
Add the diced onions to the mushrooms and cook until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for one minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits.
Return the chicken to the skillet and stir in the room temperature sour cream.
Heat gently until warmed through and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Ensure the sour cream is at room temperature before adding to the pan to prevent curdling. Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or steamed rice for a complete meal. Dried thyme can be substituted if fresh is unavailable, using half the amount.
