Here's how to make it:

- Turn stovetop to high and add wine or chicken broth. Stir with a spatula, making sure to scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan for another 2 minutes.
- Reduce stove to medium and add any juice from the chicken and the sour cream, and a bit of salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.(You can used low-fat sour cream or whole-fat sour cream.)
- Add the chicken back to the sauce in the pan.
- Serve the chicken over rice or noodles, drizzle with a bit of extra sauce, if desired, and enjoy!
