Chicken Breast in Sour Cream Sauce
Chicken is pretty much a staple in this house and sometimes it’s a little hard to find different ways to cook and serve it. I can take a whole chicken, cut it up and get at least three meals out of it for Paul and I.
This is one of our favorites. You can make this with chicken pieces but I’ve always used boneless chicken breast cut into chunks. The recipe makes a serving for 4 , when I make it for just the two of us I don’t cut the sauce in half, we love the extra sauce over noodles and it saves me the time of making a side dish.
The sour cream sauce is flavored with onion, sweet red peppers, garlic, paprika and chicken broth. It has an amazing rich flavor with a smooth and creamy texture. You’ll feel like you’re eating a dinner made in a fine restaurant right in your own home. This recipe is easy to make, light on the pocket book and delivers big time with great flavor. Chicken Breast In Sour Cream Sauce, I hope it becomes as much a favorite in your house as it is in ours. Enjoy!

I was looking for something different to make for dinner – I tend to get in a cooking rut now and then. I figure if I get tired of cooking it I’m also getting tired of eating it. When I saw how pantry/fridge friendly this was I had to try it! I did add a couple things – I found the head of broccoli I bought and forgot about last week that was at the use it or toss it stage so i chopped that up and added it to the onion and pepper. And since I like cheese with my broccoli I also added a half cup or so of shredded cheddar. This was the best dinner I’ve made in I don’t know how long! Thankfully there’s enough left for diner tomorrow (if it lasts that long lol)

Awesome! Thank you Jane.

I loved how it turned out. Looks just like the picture. I also follow a recipe first before I rate it. I thought it was alittle bland so I added seasoned salt, more black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of steak sauce. (A1). Will make those again with the changes. Thank you.

I make a very similar recipe and serve the creamed chicken on homemade waffles, alongside some steamed asparagus!
Barbara
Loved this recipe. Very simple and full of flavor. I used a full can of chicken broth because I like my sauce a little thinner, and more salt and pepper.
