Ingredients
- 3-4 chicken breasts about 600g
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For The Sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer.
- Season the chicken with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika directly in the pan.
- Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are golden brown and cooked through about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot, add the chopped onion. Cook the onion for about 2 minutes, until it starts to soften.
- Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender. Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir until everything is well combined and fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 3 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet and stir to coat them with the sauce. Cook for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the full-fat Greek yogurt until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
