Sour Cream & Onion Chicken
with Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Carrots
- Milk
Sour cream and onion is good for more than just potato chips: here, the iconic flavor combo stars in a creamy, savory sauce you’ll serve over juicy chicken cutlets. Mashed potatoes pair perfectly with any extra sauce on your plate (you’ll want to get every last drop!), while roasted carrots give the dish just the right amount of earthy sweetness.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Reserve 1⁄2 cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. Return potatoes to pot. (You’ll finish the potatoes in Step 4.)
• While potatoes cook, trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into 1⁄2-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. • Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about 1⁄2 inch thick. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Reserve pan.
• To pot with potatoes, add 3 TBSP butter (6 TBSP for 4 servings) and season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. • Cover and set aside.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Whisk in cream sauce base, onion paste, and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄2 cup for 4 servings). Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream and a pinch of sugar until smooth.
• Slice chicken crosswise and add to pan with sauce. Toss to coat.
• Divide mashed potatoes, chicken, and carrots between plates. Spoon any remaining sauce over chicken. Garnish chicken and mashed potatoes with scallion greens and serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was a new recipe for us & we loved it! The sour cream and onion sauce was easy to make and has a lot of flavor. We drizzled the extra sauce we had on the potatoes which was delicious. I also recommend mashing in 1 tbls of butter & 1 tbls of sour cream to the potatoes instead of 3 tbls of butter like the recipe says which seems like way too much especially bc there's enough sauce to drizzle on them too.
This was very good! Although I needed an easy cooking night so I threw sliced potatoes in with carrots, seasoned the chicken and put it all in the oven. All that was left to do was the quick sauce in a small pan.
SO GOOD!!! I remember reading the description of the recipe and it was saying that you'll want to get every last drop of the sauce. The writers were so right because the sauce was AMAZING!! I LOVED this recipe!! The sauce went so well with the chicken and the mashed potatoes! I hope this recipe is one that sticks around because it is DELICIOUS!
This was good but more involved than expected. Next time I will season the chicken a little bit more because I found it a little bland. But overall it was good and would order it again. I'm obsessed with the roasted carrots. Loved them and I won't make carrots any other way!
Delicious! Perfect dish! I love the creamy sauce for the chicken. I recommend adding onion salt to the sauce to bring a more onion flavor to it 🧅
I think the mashed potatoes are better with sour cream than with 3 Tablespoons of butter. That much butter turned the potatoes very greasy.
Tasty and pretty easy to put together. Nice to know that sour cream and onion works well with chicken!
Such a wonderful dish. Very filling and love the carrots and the chicken sauce was lovely.
I know it's such a basic sounding meal such a regular thing you can do for sour cream and chicken, but it's so nice to put it together this easily.
A different spin on chicken. The white cream sauce is so delicious. It pairs well with the mashed potatoes and carrots.
