Savory Sour Cream Onion Chicken Skillet Recipe

Savory Skillet Chicken with Creamy Onion Sauce

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Chicken breasts boneless, skinless, cut into thin cutlets
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp Butter divided
  • 1 Yellow onion large, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz White mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth low sodium
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream full fat recommended
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet along with the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 8 to 10 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized and the mushrooms are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
  • Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the liquid simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream, salt, and black pepper until a smooth sauce forms. Do not let the mixture boil.
  • Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it heat gently for 2 minutes, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
