Save to Pinterest A comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, perfect over noodles or rice.
I first tried chicken stroganoff on a chilly evening and was amazed by how creamy and satisfying the sauce was. It quickly became a family favorite for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- Chicken: 600 g (1.3 lbs) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized strips; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp black pepper; 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Vegetables: 250 g (9 oz) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced; 1 medium onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Sauce: 2 tbsp unsalted butter; 2 tbsp olive oil; 250 ml (1 cup) chicken stock; 1 tbsp Dijon mustard; 1 tsp paprika; 120 ml (1/2 cup) sour cream (full-fat recommended); 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep Chicken:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with flour to coat evenly.
- Sauté Chicken:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sauté chicken in batches until golden on all sides but not fully cooked through, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Cook Veggies:
- Add remaining oil and butter. Sauté onions and mushrooms until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Make Sauce:
- Sprinkle paprika, pour in chicken stock, and stir while scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Dijon mustard.
- Simmer:
- Return chicken and juices to pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7–8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens.
- Finish:
- Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and chopped parsley until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with extra parsley.
