Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

Prep your ingredients — wash the mushrooms and trim any membrane and fat from the chicken breast.
Step 2:

Cut the chicken into cubes.
Step 3:

Melt the butter in a skillet.
Step 4:

Add the chicken and sear it quickly. If you want a browned crust on the meat, use a different fat — either ghee or a mix of sunflower oil and butter. That keeps the fat from burning, so you can cook at a higher temperature.
Step 5:

Slice the mushrooms.
Step 6:

Add the mushrooms to the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring.
Step 7:

Add the seasonings and sour cream. For a thinner gravy, add water; if you're serving the chicken with pasta, use the pasta cooking water — it will thicken the sauce.
Step 8:

Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, and it's done. Dill pairs well with sour cream, so you can finely chop some and sprinkle it over the dish when serving.
