Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts (5–8 oz. each)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • Fresh parsley to garnish (optional)

SAUCE

  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup sour cream Use full-fat to avoid curdling
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1” thickness and season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
