Ingredients

Directions

  1. Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and a heavy coating of paprika. Add garlic powder if desired.
  2. In a large frying pan with a lid, melt margarine over medium-high heat. If using skin-on chicken, you may need less margarine.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and sauté until well browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup of water, cover the pan with the lid, and reduce heat to medium-low. Let the chicken simmer for 15 minutes until cooked through.
  5. While the chicken cooks, mix the undiluted cream of mushroom soup (8 oz) and sour cream in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. Remove the lid from the pan. If there is excess fat from the margarine, you may drain some off before proceeding.
  7. Pour the soup and sour cream mixture into the pan with the chicken. Stir gently to combine with the pan juices.
  8. Cook uncovered for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
  9. Serve hot, traditionally accompanied by butter noodles or mashed potatoes.
