1/2 tsp mustard

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Sauce

1. In the same pan, melt 1 tbsp butter.

2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Pour in the chicken broth and let simmer for 1 minute to deglaze.

4. Add heavy cream, sour cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth.

5. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Smother the Chicken

1. Return cooked chicken to the pan.

2. Simmer everything together for another 3-4 minutes so the chicken is smothered and coated in the sauce.

Step 4: Serve

1. Place a scoop of warm cooked rice.

2. Spoon creamy chicken and sauce generously on top.

3. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for color and a fresh touch.
