Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 oz egg noodles, cooked according to package instructions
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the onions and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the chicken to the skillet and stir in the sour cream. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the creamy chicken stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.
Expert Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh mushrooms and herbs will enhance the flavor of your stroganoff.
- Don’t Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken just until it’s no longer pink to keep it tender and juicy.
- Adjust the Sauce: If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth. If it’s too thin, let it simmer a bit longer.
- Make Ahead: This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated gently on the stove. The flavors will deepen as it sits.
