Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup (240 ml) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 2 tsps Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsps all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Egg noodles or rice for serving
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat and sear chicken strips until they develop a golden-brown exterior, approximately 4-5 minutes. Transfer cooked chicken to a separate plate.
- In the identical skillet, sauté diced onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms until vegetables become translucent and tender, around 3-4 minutes.
- Dust the vegetable mixture with flour, carefully stirring to ensure even coating. Slowly incorporate chicken broth, whisking continuously to eliminate potential lumps and create a silky sauce.
- Introduce sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, and seasonings into the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring periodically to maintain smooth consistency.
- Reintegrate the previously cooked chicken into the creamy sauce, allowing it to warm through and absorb flavors during an additional 8-10 minute simmering period.
- Transfer the stroganoff to a serving platter, arranging it atop prepared egg noodles or fluffy rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Swap chicken for tofu or tempeh to create a delightful vegetarian version that maintains the creamy, rich texture.
- Use gluten-free flour and serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative that keeps all the delicious flavors intact.
- Pat chicken dry before cooking to ensure a perfect golden-brown exterior that locks in moisture and creates a delectable caramelized crust.
- Select full-fat sour cream for maximum richness, but Greek yogurt works wonderfully as a lighter, protein-packed substitute without compromising taste.
