Creamy Chicken Stroganoff (Printer View)

Tender chicken with creamy mushroom sauce, ideal over noodles or rice for a comforting dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

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

→ Vegetables

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

→ Sauce

08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
09 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
10 - 1 cup chicken stock
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 teaspoon paprika
13 - 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
14 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

# Method Steps:

01 - Season chicken strips with salt and pepper, then coat evenly with all-purpose flour.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken in batches until golden on all sides but not fully cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
03 - Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Cook onions and mushrooms until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
04 - Sprinkle paprika over the vegetables, then pour in chicken stock while scraping browned bits from the pan. Stir in Dijon mustard.
05 - Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7 to 8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has slightly thickened.
06 - Remove from heat and incorporate sour cream and chopped parsley until sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
07 - Plate immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with additional fresh parsley.
