Chicken with a Creamy Chive Sauce

I am always looking for ways to change up the typical chicken dinner. For some reason, chicken has a bad reputation for being boring, but really it is a wonderful protein that can be used with so many flavors. What I also love is that if you find something that works well for chicken, most likely it will work well for white fish as well!
This recipe has gotten a lot of rave reviews and I wanted to try it, but it involved sour cream and chives. Sour cream is a big no-no when it comes to my husband and yogurt is even worse! I also wasn’t sure what his take on chives would be. The result was a winner loved by all. He actually commented on how he thought the sauce was milder and didn’t have as strong a taste as he thought. Oh, I forgot to mention he hates Dijon as well. My daughter loved the meal as well. I gave her some freshly chopped chives to sprinkle on top herself and the child probably downed an extra 3 tablespoons of chives that way. Who would have thought chives were the way to a two and a half year old’s heart?
Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Looks yummy! I’m always looking for new ways to try chicken as well- adding this one to my list via Pinterest! I need to use up all my chives before they die out for the winter as well.
