To get started, remove chicken tenders from breast meat, if necessary. Place breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or inside a resealable plastic bag. Pound to an even thickness with the smooth side of a meat mallet. Remove chicken from the plastic or bag and sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper all over the chicken and tenders.

Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge chicken in the flour, until coated, shaking off excess and setting aside. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the leftover flour mixture and discard the remainder.

Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering (but not smoking), add chicken to skillet and cook until browned on both sides, approximately 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. (Note: Chicken will continue cooking in a later step.)

Add mushrooms, leeks, rosemary, thyme and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring until the mushrooms have released their juices and evaporated and the leeks and mushrooms have started to brown slightly, about 4 to 6 minutes.

Add dry white wine, increase heat to high and cook, scraping up any browned bits until the wine has almost completely evaporated, about 1 to 3 minutes.

Sprinkle the reserved 3 tablespoons of flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat.

Add in broth and stir until the flour is dissolved. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, about 2 to 3 minutes. Continue cooking until the sauce is thickened slightly, about 1 minute more.

Return the chicken and any accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, turning the chicken over in the sauce occasionally until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a serving platter.

Remove skillet from heat and stir Cabot Light Sour Cream and shredded Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar into the sauce until the cheese is melted. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve. Garnish with parsley or chives, if desired.
