Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
Aromatics and Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
Seasonings and Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish and Serving:
- Fresh parsley
- Cooked egg noodles or rice
Instructions
- Sear chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat (375°F) with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper until golden and fully cooked. Transfer chicken to a separate plate.
- Using the same skillet, sauté chopped onions until translucent, then add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook mushrooms until they release moisture and become tender.
- Dust the mushroom mixture with flour, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Toast flour for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour chicken broth into the skillet, whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free sauce. Allow sauce to simmer and gradually thicken.
- Incorporate sour cream and Worcestershire sauce, stirring gently to maintain a creamy consistency. Return cooked chicken to the skillet and mix thoroughly.
- Simmer the entire mixture for 3-4 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to reach desired thickness. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Plate the stroganoff over warm egg noodles or fluffy rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs as an alternative to chicken breasts for a more tender and flavorful result.
- Swap traditional sour cream with Greek yogurt or coconut cream to create a lighter, healthier version of the dish.
- Use gluten-free flour or cornstarch instead of regular flour to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Enhance the mushroom flavor by using a mix of wild mushrooms like shiitake, cremini, and oyster mushrooms for added depth and complexity.
