How to Make It

  • 1

    Slice 600g of chicken breast into thin strips, ensuring they are uniform to allow for even cooking.

  • 2

    Melt 30g of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to foam.

  • 3

    Add the chicken strips and sauté for 5 minutes until they are lightly golden on all sides.

  • 4

    Incorporate one finely diced onion and 2 crushed garlic cloves, cooking for 3 minutes until softened and translucent.

  • 5

    Lower the heat to low and stir in 200g of sour cream, ensuring it is well integrated with the chicken juices.

  • 6

    Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes; be careful not to boil it vigorously, as the sour cream might curdle.

  • 7

    Season with 1 tsp of salt and add finely chopped dill to the pan to brighten the creamy flavor profile.

  • 8

    Serve immediately over mashed potatoes or thin noodles, spooning extra sauce over the top.
