Step 1:

How do you make chicken with mushrooms in sour cream? Gather your ingredients. Choose medium-size, undamaged mushrooms — any mushroom works in place of white button mushrooms. Sour cream of any fat content is fine.
Step 2:

Heat a skillet of a good size until hot and add a little vegetable oil. Cut the chicken breast into small, evenly sized pieces. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring now and then.
Step 3:

While the chicken cooks, prep the onion. Peel it and rinse it in cold water, then cut it into half-moons or a bit finer.
Step 4:

Add the chopped onion to the chicken. Stir and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Step 5:

Rinse the fresh mushrooms under running water to clean off any dirt, then cut each one into 2–4 pieces.
Step 6:

Add the cut mushrooms to the skillet and cook everything together for another 2–3 minutes. Then pour in about 100 ml (a scant 1/2 cup) of water and cover. Simmer the chicken and mushrooms over low heat for 15 minutes.
Step 7:

In a separate glass, whisk the flour into water until there are no lumps. Then stir in the sour cream and mix well.
Step 8:

Pour the sour cream sauce over the chicken and mushrooms. Season with a little salt and your spices to taste — ground pepper and a pinch of curry powder work well, and a little garlic adds nice flavor. Stirring, bring everything to a simmer and let it heat through for about a minute; the sauce will thicken as it warms. If you'd like it thinner, add a little more water.
Step 9:

Your skillet chicken and mushrooms in sour cream sauce is ready! Serve it on its own or with any side dish. Enjoy!

What I love about dishes like this is how little time they take. Pair it with a different side each time and you get a whole new meal. Chicken and mushrooms are a natural match.
You can swap the chicken for turkey or any other meat you like. Just keep in mind that the cooking time and calorie count will change accordingly.
Here's an easy way to tell if the oil in the skillet is hot enough: dip in a wooden spatula. If bubbles gather around it, you're good to start frying.
