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!

Thank you Dan, you inspire me to step out of the box with your wonderful dinners!

Thank you Nicole!!
This sounds and looks absolutely amazing!!!! I will definitely try this!!! Could you please tell me what the calorie count is on this dish?
The calorie counts for all the recipes are at the bottom of each recipe Consuelo. This count is 1636.
Thank you for your response. I didn’t see the calorie count for this dish and it may be because I’m looking at it from my cell phone.
Oh gotcha Consuelo. Everything looks different on a cell phone!
I made this dish this evening for my family and it was amazing! The steamed broccoli was the perfect pair for it! Thank you for the deliciousness!
Hi TM! It’s delicious isn’t it!! It’s one of my most favorite meals. Thank you for coming back to tell me you made it!
I 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.
That makes my heart sing Mary!! Take a recipe and make it yours and you definitely did! Thank you for coming back to tell me,I love it!
So 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?
Nancy 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!
I 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.
Thank you Moir
