Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, then season them generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat each piece lightly in flour.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add butter and sauté chopped cremini mushrooms and diced onions for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender and onions are translucent.

Allow sour cream to come to room temperature before adding it to prevent curdling. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. Keep heat low after adding sour cream to avoid a grainy sauce.
