Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 g) chicken breast, cut into strips
- 2 cups (480 ml) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
Seasoning and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce and Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat, then sear chicken strips with a sprinkle of salt and pepper until golden brown and caramelized. Transfer chicken to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, sauté chopped onions and sliced mushrooms until they release their moisture and turn translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Introduce minced garlic and paprika to the vegetable mixture, allowing the aromatics to bloom for 30-45 seconds, releasing their fragrant essence.
- Dust the vegetable mixture with flour, stirring continuously to create a roux and prevent lumps from forming. Cook for about 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Slowly stream chicken broth into the skillet, whisking consistently to create a smooth, velvety sauce without any clumps.
- Reduce heat to low and gently fold in sour cream and Worcestershire sauce, ensuring the sauce remains creamy and well-integrated.
- Reintroduce the seared chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken reaches perfect tenderness.
- Plate the stroganoff over warm egg noodles or fluffy rice, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cut into uniform strips for even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use a high-quality, full-fat sour cream to achieve a rich, creamy sauce that coats the chicken perfectly.
- For a gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend to maintain the sauce’s thickness.
- Add extra flavor by incorporating a splash of white wine or a pinch of dried thyme during the mushroom sautéing stage for depth and complexity.
