This Keto Sour Cream Smothered Chicken is quick and easy, but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. It is sure to become a family favorite.
I am always trying to think of new ways to dress up chicken. What better way to dress it up than smothering it with all my favorite things?? This makes for great leftovers. Enjoy!

Sour Cream Smothered Chicken
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (4 total)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 green onions, sliced
- 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the chicken is cooked all the way through, plate it and top with sauce, mozzarella cheese, bacon, and green onions.

Louanne Bertrand says

Crissy Cris says
I am eating this now, it is so good!! Thank you so much for all your hard work!!
Jackie Caswell says
Made this tonight for dinner. I used low fat cheese, sour cream, light butter and cut down on the measurements a bit ( to fit in with my daily calorie intake) turned out amazing. This was my first meal from this blog but i went shopping today and stocked up on lots of ingredients to make many more. Thanks
My break down was 34 protein, 4 carbs and 15 grams fat. I made enough to serve two people only. 4oz chicken
Betty Kramp says
Why on earth would someone use the recipes on this website for a low fat diet, when this is clearly NOT that. This diet does not count calories, it counts carbs. THIS IS A LOW CARB DIET.
Michael says
Of course. It is billed as a fusion of low carb and paleo!!!! Never says low fat!! But, more and more, nutritionists and Doctors are coming to realize that fat is not bad, but that carbs, especially refined carbs are bad.
Tamarah says
why would you ruin a good recipe using LF ingredients . The Fat makes it delish !

Made this for dinner last night and must say I felt like I was eating something prepared at a high end restaurant–it was soooooo good. My husband and 11 year old devoured it the same as I did!! Kudos 🙂
Mschenten says
Am I missing something? Where/when do you put the cheese in or is that the last thing and it melts from the warmth of everything else?
missashlyn16 says
So will we need to order the cookbook in order to get this recipe now? I’ve been making it for awhile and came to your page to make it tonight and now it’s no longer here. Just wanted to check. Thank you!
Kyndra H says
I am finally putting out my first collaborative cookbook after a year and a half of putting up completely free recipes with step by step pictures and instructions. In addition to maintaining this site, I also work fulltime. Publishing a cookbook is my attempt at making my lifes passion, my career. However, there are still 100’s of other free recipes on my site still.
missashlyn16 says
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.

Melodie says
I made this yesterday and my husband just raved about how good it was!!! I have to agree, this will become a regular menu item. P.S. I didn’t tell him it was low carb…
Heather says
Made this tonight and everyone loved it, including my picky 4 year old!
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!
Sandie says
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!
Karen says
This was really good. Can’t wait for the 30 Minute Cookbook to come out.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
