Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour, divided
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cup hot cooked rice, or as needed
  • paprika to taste
  • chopped fresh chives
Directions
  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the flour over chicken and toss to coat.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add half of the chicken and brown on each side, 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken, adding up to 1 tablespoon additional oil, if needed.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until mushrooms release liquid and liquid cooks away, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic to skillet. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Cook and stir 1 minute.
  5. Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper to skillet. Bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
  6. Add sour cream to a small bowl. Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot broth mixture into the sour cream. Add the sour cream mixture back to the skillet. Return to a boil.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet. Simmer until heated through and sauce thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Serve with rice. Sprinkle with paprika and chives.
