  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 Tablespoons butter, (separated)
  • 1 small yellow Onion (minced)
  • 8 oz. white button Mushrooms (cleaned and sliced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup white wine (can sub chicken broth)
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth (see note 1)
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2 thinner pieces of equal size. If desired, pound the chicken even thinner as it will plump up when cooked.
  2. 2Pat completely dry and dredge in the flour mixture. Tap off excess.
  3. 3Sear the Chicken: Heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it’s glistening, add 2 pieces of chicken at a time and allow it to sear undisturbed for 4-5 minutes per side. Carefully flip once it’s developed a nice golden crust. Decrease heat if the oil gets too hot and add more olive oil if needed. Set chicken aside on a plate and sear remaining 2 pieces.
  4. 4Deglaze the pan: Carefully add the white wine to the pan and cook over medium-high heat for 4 minutes, until reduced by half. Use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom of the pan, working the brown bits into the liquid. This gives the sauce plenty of flavor.
  5. 5Add the onions and 2 tablespoons of butter. Reduce heat to medium and sauté for 5 minutes.
  6. 6Add 1 tablespoon butter and mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  7. 7Add the beef/chicken broth, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Stir to combine. Gradually bring to a gentle boil.
  8. 8Combine 3 tablespoons Cornstarch + ¼ cup COLD water. Whisk continuously and slowly add it to the sauce a little bit at a time, stirring to incorporate. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  9. 9Add the sour cream to a small bowl. Take 1/3 cup of the sauce and mix it in with the sour cream until combined and smooth. Add the sour cream mixture to the sauce and stir to incorporate.
  10. 10Add the chicken back to the pan along with any drippings from the plate. Partially cover the pan and heat for 5 minutes, until the chicken is warmed through and the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
  11. 11Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with egg noodles, fettuccine, or mashed potatoes.
