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!

02/26/2015 at 6:50 amI admit I made changes to your recipe, but the versatility of this recipe is what attracted me to it. Finding out late in my day that I was having 4 family members for a casual dinner prompted me to expand the “bulk” of the recipe into a larger & veggie-rich 1-dish meal that I could serve just by adding some bread & fruit. I made the heart of the recipe as written, added leftover veggies from my fridge (canned carrot coins & cooked cabbage) & served it over simple ramen noodles. A good recipe, your fridge & your pantry can often be your best friends. 4 adults & 2 kids ate well & enjoyed their meal.

08/06/2016 at 7:03 pmSo Glad to see this recipe, chicken is thawing for me to make this tomorrow! It brings back memories of a dish I had years ago when visiting friends in the midwest, she added a touch of sherry at the end. I loved it then and am sure I will love it tomorrow evening when I serve it. I’m wondering what everyone things of using any leftovers as the filling for a mini pot pie or a filling for a pop over?
bunny
08/06/2016 at 8:28 pmNancy that would be one decadent pot pie or pop over! maybe even making the dough for pate choux and putting the filling over that! If you make a pot pie or popover using the filling let me know. I’d love to hear how it went!

01/20/2019 at 8:45 pmI made this for dinner tonight and mostly followed the recipe. I deglazed the pan with white wine after sauteing and tossed everything together before serving. It was delicious and I look forward to having ‘planned overs’ for lunch tomorrow.

05/04/2019 at 8:47 amI love this recipe and made it for the third time last night. This time I doubled the recipe and added additional chicken broth for a lite, soupy sauce. I could eat this without the pasta it’s so delicious!!! My husband absolutely loves it too. Bunny, can this be frozen?
Thank you, Ruth

05/06/2019 at 9:33 pmDelicious and affordable recipe. We will be making this again. I added some mushrooms that needed to be used and served the sauce over pasta with peas. It’s just the two of us so I took your suggestion and made more sauce. We will easily get four dinners and at least one lunch so it’s a win/win recipe for us. Thank you so much!

05/15/2019 at 6:49 pmI 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)
