Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts or boneless thighs for richer flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder adjust according to taste preferences
  • 1 teaspoon Salt kosher salt is recommended
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground is best
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil vegetable oil can be substituted
  • 2 tablespoons Butter unsalted allows more control over salt levels
For the Sauce
  • 1 medium Onion, sliced sweet onions like Vidalia work best
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced fresh garlic recommended
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth low-sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce soy sauce can be a substitute
  • 1 cup Full-Fat Sour Cream less likely to curdle when heated

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Slice the chicken into thinner cutlets and season generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side.
  3. Lower the heat and add remaining butter. Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the pan to release browned bits. Simmer for a couple of minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low and add sour cream into the skillet, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  7. Return chicken cutlets to the skillet, spooning sauce over. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to absorb flavors.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
