Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tbsp sweet paprika
• 400ml chicken stock
• 4 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 200g soured cream or crème fraîche
• A large handful of parsley, chopped
• Rice, mash, or pasta, to serve
Instructions:
1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and season. Sauté until golden on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
2. In the same pan, add the chopped onions and cook until softened. Add the garlic and mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes.
3. Return the chicken to the pan. Pour in the mustard, Dijon, Greek yoghurt, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
4. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5–10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Stir in the sour cream or crème fraîche and cook for a further 2–3 minutes until the sauce is glossy and heated through.
6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
Healthy Swaps & Tips:
• Swap Greek yoghurt for crème fraîche if you prefer a richer sauce
• Use low-fat fromage frais to cut even more calories
• Add spinach or kale for a veggie boost
• Replace chicken with turkey or tofu for a leaner or plant-based option
• For a thicker sauce, add a tsp of cornflour mixed with water
Storage & Meal Prep:
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
• Reheat gently on the hob or in the microwave until piping hot
• Not suitable for freezing if made with yoghurt (use crème fraîche if freezing)
• Make extra for easy work lunches with brown rice or couscous
Ideal For:
• Busy families looking for a quick comfort meal
• Meal-preppers wanting creamy but clean dinners
• High-protein eaters on lower-carb days
• Gym-goers needing balanced recovery food
• Anyone wanting an easy one-pan dinner that feels indulgent but isn’t
