Ingredient Notes
How to make Sour Cream Cheesy Chicken
Step by step directions
STEP 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan, over medium heat. Once the pan is heated, add the onion, mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms and onions are nice and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
STEP 2: Heat the remaining butter and olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, sear the chicken breasts until they are cooked all the way through and golden brown on both sides.
STEP 3: While the chicken is searing, add the chicken stock and sour cream to the onion and mushroom mixture. Mix in and bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer and thicken, about 15 to 20 minutes.
STEP 4: Once the chicken is cooked all the way through, plate it and top with sauce, mozzarella cheese, bacon, and green onions.

This is absolutely the best dish ever! I used boneless skinless thighs and browned them in the bacon fat. Nothing else was changed- it was divine- creamy and complex of garlic and mushrooms. My husband liked the bowl!
Paula Sue says
Can I use boneless/skinless chicken breasts for this recipe, or is it best to use regular chicken breasts?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes. That is what I used
Paula Sue says
Thanks!

That's great and very exciting for you! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing it. Thanks and congratulations! Your recipes are really great. I didn't mean to sound rude. I just bought all the ingredients on Sunday to make it while the recipe was still on here and then came to make it last night and it was gone. I'll just have to check out your cookbook. 🙂 Thanks again.
