Ingredients
Scale
-
- For the Chicken:
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon canola oil (or avocado oil), for frying
-
- For the Gravy:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 12 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- To Serve:
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Season chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Dredge lightly in flour.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through, about 5–6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add mushrooms and onions and sauté until softened and browned, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Slice or shred the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet, stirring to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to warm through.
- Serve over egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use chicken breasts instead of thighs if preferred, but thighs stay juicier.
- For extra depth of flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine before adding the broth.
- If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or cream to loosen.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
