Ingredients

Chicken

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1.5 lbs.
Salt/Pepper
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

1 cup chicken broth
10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup
¾ cup sour cream
¼ cup milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Seasonings

1 teaspoon EACH: onion powder, garlic powder, basil, oregano
½ teaspoon EACH: mustard powder, dried parsley
Fresh Parsley, to garnish, optional

Instructions

Prep Work

Combine the chicken broth and seasonings. Set aside. Measure out remaining ingredients before beginning.

Dredge/Sear the Chicken

Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Cover with saran wrap and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick. Pat the chicken dry.
Lightly sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Dredge in flour and tap off excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside.

Make the Sauce

Turn the heat off and add the chicken broth/seasoning mixture (from step 1 of prep work). Use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom and sides of the skillet.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the cream of chicken soup until fully combined. Gradually stir in the sour cream until combined, followed by the milk, then the lemon juice. Make sure the heat isn't too high, you don't want the sour cream to curdle.

Add the Chicken Back and Serve

Add the chicken back and spoon sauce over the top. Let heat through for 5 minutes or so. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve!
