Recipe Tips

For extra crispy potatoes, spread them in a single layer without overcrowding.

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken stock to thin it out.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.

FAQ

Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?

Yes, slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin cutlets or pound them to an even thickness.

What can I substitute for sour cream?

Greek yogurt works well as a substitute for sour cream in this sauce.

Can I make this dish dairy-free?

Use a dairy-free sour cream alternative and omit the butter. The sauce will still be delicious.
