Ingredients
- 4 (4-ounce) chicken breasts, sliced vertically into cutlets
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

- 1 (8-ounce) package white mushrooms, sliced
- 4 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions
Step 1 -Evenly sprinkle both sides of each of the chicken cutlets with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper.
Step 2 -In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil.
Step 3 -Add the seasoned chicken cutlets to the heated oil and cook, turning once, until they are browned on both sides and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 6 minutes.
Step 4 -Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to a plate and cover to keep them warm.
Step 5 -In the same skillet, add the remaining oil.
Step 6 -Add the onions to the heated oil and cook, while stirring, until they are mostly soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
