Ingredients
1.5 pounds (680 g) chicken breast, boneless and skinless
8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, cremini or white button
1 medium onion
3–4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
To taste salt
To taste black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
8 oz (225 g) egg noodles or pasta
2–3 tablespoons optional cream
Instructions
- Prep all ingredients: slice the chicken into 1-inch strips, slice the mushrooms, finely dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
- Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and cook until deeply browned and their moisture evaporates.
- Add the onion and garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the aromatics to form a light roux; stir to coat and cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth to deglaze the pan and bring to a gentle simmer; allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Lower the heat and stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Off the heat, or with gentle heat, temper the sour cream to prevent curdling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken to the pan and simmer briefly to reheat and coat in sauce. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package directions; drain and toss with a little butter if desired.
- Serve the creamy stroganoff over the noodles, finishing with chopped parsley. Optional: stir in 2–3 tablespoons of cream for extra richness.
