# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Halve the chicken breasts lengthwise to create four thinner pieces. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
02 -
Place olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Heat over medium-high until hot.
03 -
Add chicken pieces to the hot skillet. Sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 74°C). Transfer to a plate.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter along with sliced onion. Cook gently for 10 to 15 minutes until onions soften and brown lightly, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning.
05 -
Incorporate minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds to release aroma.
06 -
Pour in chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape the skillet bottom to lift any browned bits.
07 -
Whisk in sour cream until smooth, warming gently for 2 minutes without boiling to avoid curdling.
08 -
Return chicken to skillet, coating pieces with sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For a lower-fat alternative, substitute full-fat sour cream with low-fat. A splash of lemon juice added at the end enhances brightness. Complements rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta well.
