This creamy chicken recipe marries tender chicken with a rich and tangy sour cream sauce, creating a dish that is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. Make sure to rub the seasoning in well to ensure even flavor throughout the chicken.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate to rest.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor. Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and paprika. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and heated through, simmering gently to combine all the flavors.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Spoon some sauce over the top of the chicken to ensure every bite is flavorful. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as crusty bread, noodles, or a fresh salad.
