Ingredients
– 600g (1.2 lb) boneless skinless chicken thighs (4-5 pieces), or breast or tenderloin
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 large onion, chopped
– 300g (10 oz) mushrooms, sliced but not too thin
– 40g (3 tbsp) butter
– 2 tbsp flour (all-purpose or substitute with cornstarch for gluten-free)
– 2 cups (500 ml) beef broth or stock, salt reduced
– 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
– 2/3 cup (150g) sour cream or yogurt
– 250 to 300g (8-10 oz) pasta or egg noodles
– Chopped parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1-Prepare all ingredients: by slicing the chicken into thin strips, chopping onions and mushrooms, and mincing garlic if needed. Pre-measure broth and sour cream to speed things up.
2-Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
3-Add the chicken strips to the skillet, cook until lightly browned on all sides and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
4-Stir in the mushrooms and any additional seasonings, cooking until mushrooms soften and release moisture, around 4 minutes.
5-Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly for 5 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
6-Lower the heat and gently fold in the sour cream and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, stirring until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
7-For gluten-free adaptation, mix cornstarch with water and add to the sauce to thicken as desired.
8-Final step: Serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or cauliflower rice for low-carb options. Garnish with fresh parsley for a nice touch.
Once the sauce thickens to that perfect pouring consistency in about 3 minutes, return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 1 minute to blend everything together. The total time is just 20 minutes prep in 5 and cooking in 15, making it ideal for busy schedules.
