Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with the flour to coat evenly.
- Sear the Chicken:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sauté the chicken in batches until golden on all sides but not fully cooked through, about 3&4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- Add the remaining oil and butter to the pan. Sauté the onions and mushrooms until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Deglaze & Build the Sauce:
- Sprinkle in the paprika, then pour in the chicken stock and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in Dijon mustard.
- Simmer:
- Return the chicken and any juices to the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7&8 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Finish:
- Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and chopped parsley until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with extra parsley.
