Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound chicken thighs boneless and skinless cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 ounces white mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped

Method
 

  1. Season the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over the chicken and toss until lightly coated. This helps the sauce thicken later.
  2. Brown the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook until lightly golden on all sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. Build the Base: Melt butter in the same skillet. Add chopped onion and cook until soft and lightly golden. Stir often to avoid burning.
  4. Add Mushrooms and Garlic: Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn tender. Stir in garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
  5. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in white wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer until slightly reduced and mellow.
  6. Create the Sauce: Add chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until fully tender.
  7. Finish with Cream and Dill: Lower the heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Add chopped dill and gently mix. Let everything warm through without boiling.
