Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then dredge in flour.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken in batches, cooking for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter, then toss in chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until translucent and browned.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute.
Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits. Return chicken and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring gently.
Lower the heat, mix in 1 cup of sour cream, stirring until incorporated. Season to taste and serve promptly.
