Instructions

Cook the Pasta

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté Chicken and Vegetables

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

In the same skillet, add onions and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they are tender.

Make the Sauce

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Combine and Serve

Add the cooked chicken and pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated in sauce. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Storage Tips

If you find yourself with leftovers, storing them properly is essential to maintaining the dish's quality. Allow the stroganoff to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, do so gently over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or milk to restore the creamy texture.

For longer storage, consider freezing the stroganoff. Place it in a freezer-safe container, where it can last for up to three months. To reheat, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm it on the stovetop, stirring occasionally. This makes for a quick and easy meal on a busy day!

Pairing Suggestions

To complement your creamy mushroom chicken stroganoff pasta, consider serving it with a crisp green salad. A simple arugula salad with a lemon vinaigrette can provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the dish. Additionally, a glass of white wine, such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, pairs beautifully with the creamy flavors, enhancing the overall dining experience.

For those looking for a heartier side, garlic bread or a warm baguette is a fantastic choice. The crusty bread is perfect for soaking up the delicious sauce, ensuring you don’t miss a single drop of flavor. This combination will create a well-rounded meal that everyone will love!
