Step 1
Pound chicken breasts flat between plastic wrap until about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Put flour in another bowl. Season both with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Coat each chicken piece in flour, then egg, then flour again. Shake off excess.
Step 4
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Sear chicken 3 minutes per side without moving, until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Slice mushrooms 1/4-inch thick. Dice the onion. Cook both in the same skillet for 3 minutes until soft.
Step 7
Pour in wine and scrape the pan bottom. Simmer 1 minute, then stir in sour cream until smooth.
Step 8
Return chicken to pan and spoon sauce over it. Warm through for 1 minute. Serve with potato salad, sliced hard-boiled egg, tomato slices, and cucumber.
