INGREDIENTS
Chicken - 1.2 lb chicken thighs (4 - 5) , boneless skinless (or breast or tenderloin, Note 1)
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

GRAVY:
1 large onion , chopped
10oz mushrooms , sliced (not too thin)
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour (Note 2)
2 cups beef broth/stock , salt reduced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2/3 cup sour cream (or yogurt)

SERVING:
8 - 10 oz pasta or egg noodles of choice (Note 3)
Chopped parsley or chives , for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Sprinkle chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper on both sides.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in skillet smooth side down.

Press down lightly with with spatula. Cook for 4 minutes until golden.

Turn and press lightly with spatula. Cook for 2 minutes.

Remove chicken onto a plate.

Turn heat down to medium high. Add butter, melt. Then add onions, cook for 1 minute, then add mushrooms.

Cook mushrooms until golden. Scrape bottom of fry pan to get all the golden bits off (this is flavour!).

Add flour, cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add half the broth while stirring. Once incorporated, add remaining broth.

Stir, then add sour cream and mustard. Stir until incorporated (don't worry if it looks split, sour cream will "melt" as it heats).

Bring to simmer ,then reduce heat to medium low. Once it thickens to the consistency of pouring cream (3 minutes), adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Add chicken back in (including plate juices). Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from stove.

 Recipe Notes:
1. Chicken - If using breast, use 2 and either slice horizontally to form 4 "steaks" in total or chop into bite size pieces. If using tenderloin, use whole or chop. If cut into bite size pieces, still follow the recipe. ie brown then remove, then return into pan.

2. Flour - Any wheat flour is fine here, I use plain white flour (all purpose). Or use 1 tbsp cornstarch / cornflour mixed with 1 tbsp water (makes it Gluten Free), mix those together then add that in with the beef broth.

3. Serving - I like serving this with pasta. It's also great with mashed potato, rice, polenta - anything that's suitable to slop up all that gravy!

4. Fat reduction - use low fat sour cream and reduce butter to 2 tbsp, and use a non stick pan. Mixture will seem drier once you add flour but don't worry!
