Ingredients

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 cup baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream (room temperature)
  • 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
  • cooked egg noodles
  • chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Start by seasoning your chicken breasts on both sides with kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sautĂ© the sliced mushrooms and chopped garlic for 3-5 minutes until tender.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and stir in Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, scraping any bits off the bottom for added flavor and allow it to reduce for 3-4 minutes.
  • Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream and condensed mushroom soup until well combined. Heat through but do not boil.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Serve over cooked egg noodles and garnish with parsley.
