Creamy Chicken Stroganoff (Printer View)

Tender chicken cooked in a rich, mushroom cream sauce, perfect over noodles or rice.

# What you'll need:

→ Chicken

01 - 1.3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized strips
02 - 1/2 tsp salt
03 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
04 - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

→ Vegetables

05 - 9 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
06 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Sauce

08 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
09 - 2 tbsp olive oil
10 - 1 cup chicken stock
11 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
12 - 1 tsp paprika
13 - 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
14 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

# Method:

01 - Season chicken with salt and black pepper, then toss with all-purpose flour until evenly coated.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken in batches until golden on all sides but not fully cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
03 - Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Cook onions and mushrooms until softened and golden, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1 additional minute.
04 - Sprinkle paprika into the skillet, then pour in chicken stock while scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Stir in Dijon mustard until incorporated.
05 - Return chicken and accumulated juices to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7 to 8 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly.
06 - Remove skillet from heat and stir in sour cream and chopped parsley until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as desired.
07 - Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with additional fresh parsley.
