Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs.)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce:

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Seasonings:

  • 1 teaspoon EACH: onion powder, garlic powder, basil, oregano
  • ½ teaspoon EACH: mustard powder, dried parsley
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Work: Combine chicken broth with all listed seasonings and set aside.
  2. Measure out the remaining sauce ingredients for easy access.
  3. Dredge and Sear the Chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound them to ½ inch thick. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Set the chicken aside.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: Turn off the heat and add the chicken broth-seasoning mixture to the skillet. Use a silicone spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom and sides of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the cream of chicken soup until smooth and combined. Gradually stir in the sour cream, followed by the milk, ensuring the heat is low enough to prevent curdling. Finally, add the lemon juice.
  5. Finish and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Let it heat through for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
