Skillet Sour Cream Chicken

 

15 minute Sour Cream Skillet Chicken

 

I started this blog with the idea that I’d blog my dinner, which turned into cooking for the blog which turned into freelance work and somewhere around starting an LLC and registering trademarks I realized that I rarely or never blogged my dinner.

I did an interview recently and the interviewer asked for links to my "go to week night meal," and I was more than embarrassed to say that I’d never really blogged it. This is just one version of my 15 minute chicken that seems to make it into regular rotation.

I always use boneless skinless chicken thighs, the flavor is worlds above the chicken breast and it is almost impossible to dry out. I love to cook them in a cast iron skillet because of the awesome crust it gives the chicken. The sour cream version was a big hit, so I’m sure it will make it into my busy weeknight menu again.

I used to make sour cream chicken in slow cooker. It was a family favorite! How fun to make it in a skillet! So much faster! Thanks, Jackie!

I love the sound of this one! Isn’t it funny that some of our favorite and simplest meals never make the blog? I think you have inspired me to change that!

So easy! And I love that you use boneless skinless thighs. Those are my go to. The boneless skinless breasts just don’t have the right flavor for me. Love this!

I am all about blogging my dinner…I rarely cook anything "for the blog" that I wasn’t planning to make anyway, and I LOVE getting tried and true dinner ideas from trusted sources like you! I’ll definitely be trying this one 🙂

I’m so glad that this recipe made it to the blog! And that sour creamy-mustard sauce looks amazing. I could slather that on anything and everything!

Haha! I started my blog thinking the same thing and of course I now cook for the blog! It’s never what do I want for dinner, it’s what have I not done and what sounds fun and different. Now that I think about, I have never posted my go to pasta and chicken dishes that I make at least once a week!

So glad I get to see this awesome chicken. it looks perfect and I think everyone, the picky brothers included would eat this. YES!

This was delicious, easy, and looked just like the picture. The vinegar and Dijon mustard addition was a good kick of flavor. I loved using my cast iron skillet.

I made it – loved it! Didn’t have honey, used sugar. Didn’t have fresh basil, used dried sweet basil… added grated lemon zest…wow, we loved this quick and super tasty meal! Wanted to serve with a sprinkle of parsley or cilantro on top, but didn’t have any. Ended up chopping some nice & fresh celery leaves instead – it worked nicely! Served on angel hair with an arugula, kale, tomato, avocado and chick pea salad with balsamic dressing. So good!
