A delightfully creamy sauce, consisting of button mushrooms, sour cream, and chives, makes this pan-seared chicken breast tender, succulent and flavoursome. Serve it with pasta or mashed potatoes.
- 2 Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Shallot, finely chopped
- 100 g Button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 60 ml Dry white wine
- 300 ml Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Sour cream
- 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
- Place chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until flattened to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Season both sides of the chicken with a little of salt. Place 2 tablespoons flour in a shallow dish and dredge the chicken in it. Discard the excess flour.
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm.
- Add remaining oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add shallots, mushrooms and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining flour and stir until lightly browned. Pour in white wine, and broth. Bring it to a boil, stirring often.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until heated through and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream and mustard until smooth. Taste with salt and stir in chives. Serve with wholewheat pasta.

First one to comment. Haha!
Okaay.. bookmarking this! Because i just realized that i can ask the uncle in the wet market to cut the chicken breast meat out for me just last week! With weekly extra supply of chicken breast meat, i've now more options to cook apart from Kung Po Kai Ting ;)
My mouth is watering and I didn't think I was hungry until I saw this!
What a fabulous meal!

Oh wow, another fabulous idea for a quick and delicious dinner! I bet the sour cream & Dijon mustard gives it the right tang and kick! Yummy!
A scrumptious dish! A droolworthy combination.

yumm, that looks delicious, need some advice from you since you do a lot of baking, got any idea on what i can do with dried fruit mix? most fruit cakes use brandy and i dont use any alcohol before you suggest another type :)
nom nom nom
That looks incredibly delicious! I love adding chives to sauces, it just brings a wonderful flavor to them.
This is a great dish! And I have a little confession to make: This dish is very similar to the very first dish I ever made, cooking for a first date back high school. Mine was not nearly as complex as this one (yours looks perfect of course) Thanks for bringing back a fond memory!!!

@Nammi
Nammi, if you don't use alcohol in the baked goods, use some juice or milk instead.
I like to use dried fruit, like raisin, or berries, in bread and cookies baking.
Wonderful dish...it has me drooling!
Oh my goodness, that looks scrumptious and what a great idea for chicken.
This looks delicious!
Fabulous, I love chicken with mushrooms in a cream sauce, yours looks like perfection!

Lovely. It sounds sort of like a chicken stroganoff. My family would love this!
