Ingredients
  

  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 pound chicken breasts diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms sliced
  • cup sour cream plus additional for garnish if preferred
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 pound egg noodles cooked and drained
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons white wine optional
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Meanwhile, in a bowl, coat the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  • Transfer the seasoned chicken into the heated pan, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary. Sear each side for 2–5 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Introduce the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Sauté the mushrooms until golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in the shallot, onion, and garlic, cooking until softened and translucent.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine and let it reduce for about a minute. Incorporate the butter and then the flour, whisking constantly to form a roux without letting it scorch. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to achieve a smooth consistency. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper, then bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer gently for 5–8 minutes to cook the chicken through. Mix in the cooked egg noodles and sour cream, stirring to fully combine. Allow it to heat for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if necessary, then remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
