  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 240 ml (1 cup) double (heavy) cream

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high temperature until shimmering.
  2. Sauté mushrooms and onions for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until vegetables become translucent and tender.
  3. Add chicken pieces to the pan, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika, ensuring even coating.
  4. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes, turning frequently to ensure uniform browning and complete cooking.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and incorporate Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, sour cream, and double cream, whisking until smooth.
  6. Simmer the mixture for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing sauce to thicken and flavors to meld together.
  7. Once sauce reaches desired consistency and chicken is fully cooked, remove from heat.

  9. Serve immediately over steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or al dente pasta, ensuring each portion receives generous sauce coverage.

Notes

  • Swap butter with olive oil for a healthier version that reduces saturated fat intake while maintaining delicious flavor.
  • Choose skinless chicken breasts to keep the dish lean and lower in calories without compromising protein content.
  • Opt for Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a protein-packed, tangier alternative that cuts down on fat percentage.
  • Consider adding roasted bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition and vibrant color to elevate the dish’s visual appeal and nutrient profile.
