Main Ingredients
  • 4-6 pieces Chicken Breasts Lean and tender, these will soak up all the creamy goodness.
  • 8 oz Fresh Mushrooms Use button or cremini for their rich flavor and delightful texture.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Provides aromatic charm.
  • 1 medium Onion Adds sweetness and depth to the sauce.
  • 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup Consider low-fat versions for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Adds a tangy twist; Greek yogurt makes a great swap.
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth For added moisture and flavor.
  • Salt and Pepper To taste.
  • Fresh Parsley For garnish.

Cooking
