- 1 medium onion

Recipe story:
Mustard chicken is a recipe with deep roots in culinary traditions, being a perfect combination of rich flavors and creamy textures. Mustard, a beloved ingredient for centuries, adds a spicy note and intense flavor, and when combined with sour cream, the result is a velvety sauce that pairs wonderfully with various side dishes. This recipe invites you to experiment and customize the dish according to your preferences.

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients:
Start by chopping the onion into small cubes. Make sure to cut it evenly, so it cooks uniformly. If you want a more intense flavor, you can opt for red onion, which will add a touch of sweetness.

2. Cooking the onion:
In a deep skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until it becomes translucent and slightly golden. This step is essential, as the onion will add a base flavor to the dish.

3. Preparing the chicken:
Slice the chicken breast into thin pieces. This will allow the chicken to cook quickly and evenly, retaining its juiciness. Add the chicken slices to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the onion. Cook the chicken until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Deglazing the skillet:
Pour the dry white wine into the skillet, making sure to stir well to lift the caramelized flavors from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly.

5. Adding mustard and sour cream:
Reduce the heat to low and add the 2 tablespoons of mustard, stirring well to incorporate. Then pour in the sour cream and mix until you achieve a creamy and uniform sauce. Let it simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.

6. Seasoning:
Finally, taste the sauce and add salt and pepper to your liking. If you want a spicier sauce, you can add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.

7. Serving:
Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs on top of the dish for an extra touch of color and flavor. Mustard chicken is excellently served alongside pasta or mashed potatoes, but feel free to experiment with sides like rice or grilled vegetables.

Practical tips:
- Variations of the recipe: You can also use other parts of the bird, such as thighs or wings, which will add extra flavor. If you have time, you can simmer the meat with vegetables to create a delicious stock that can be used for soups or sauces.
- Preparing dumplings: If you want to add dumplings as a side, make sure to prepare the semolina with the eggs 10 minutes before boiling them. Another suggestion is to sprinkle them with cold water during boiling to keep them fluffy.
- Sharing the recipe: This recipe is perfect for sharing with family and friends. Cook together and turn this culinary experience into a pleasant memory!
