Creamy Chicken Stroganoff (Print)

Tender chicken in creamy mushroom sauce with herbs, perfect over noodles or rice for a comforting meal.

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 1.3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized strips
02 - 1/2 tsp salt
03 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
04 - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

→ Vegetables

05 - 9 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
06 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Sauce

08 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
09 - 2 tbsp olive oil
10 - 1 cup chicken stock
11 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
12 - 1 tsp paprika
13 - 1/2 cup sour cream (full-fat recommended)
14 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

# Instructions:

01 - Season chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with flour to coat evenly.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken strips in batches until golden but not fully cooked, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
03 - Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Sauté onions and mushrooms until soft and golden, about 5 minutes, then stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
04 - Sprinkle paprika over vegetables. Pour in chicken stock, stirring to deglaze the pan and incorporate browned bits. Stir in Dijon mustard thoroughly.
05 - Return chicken and juices to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7–8 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.
06 - Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and chopped parsley until fully combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
07 - Immediately serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with extra parsley.

# Pro Tips:

02 -
  • Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest sauce and best flavor.

  • Try adding a splash of dry white wine after cooking the mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.
