For the Stroganoff

1 pound chicken breast, sliced
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic; sauté until the onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

Make the Sauce

Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream.

Combine and Serve

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, and stir to coat in the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

This dish pairs wonderfully with egg noodles or rice for a complete meal!

Ingredient Tips

Choosing the right mushrooms is key to elevating your Chicken Stroganoff. While button mushrooms are common, consider using cremini or shiitake for a deeper flavor. These varieties add an earthy richness that complements the dish beautifully.

When selecting chicken, opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts for ease of preparation. If you prefer dark meat, chicken thighs work well and add extra juiciness to the dish. Adjust cooking times accordingly to ensure the chicken is cooked through.

Customizing Your Stroganoff

Feel free to customize your Chicken Stroganoff with additional ingredients. For a burst of color and nutrition, add bell peppers or spinach. You can also incorporate white wine into the sauce for added depth and flavor, just be sure to let it reduce before adding the broth.

If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with hearty vegetables like zucchini or cauliflower, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. This variation maintains the essence of Stroganoff while catering to different dietary preferences.
