Creamy Chicken Stroganoff
This dish is comfort food at its finest—tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and a creamy, flavorful sauce that hugs every bite. Serve it over egg noodles or mashed potatoes, and you've got yourself a meal that feels like a hug in a bowl!
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cut into 1-inch pieces
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp butter
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup sour cream
- Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Egg noodles or mashed potatoes, for serving
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken:Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, then toss it in flour until well coated.
- Sear the Chicken:Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes per side until golden. If needed, work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Set the chicken aside on a plate.
- Sauté the Veggies:Add the remaining olive oil (if needed) along with the butter. Toss in the mushrooms and onions, letting them cook until they release their juices and start to brown—about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the Flavor Boosters:Stir in the dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Let it all cook for about a minute, just until fragrant.
- Make the Sauce:Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up all those tasty browned bits from the bottom of the pan (that’s where the magic is!). Return the chicken to the pan and let it simmer gently for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Finish It Off:Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the sour cream until the sauce is velvety and smooth. Give it a taste, adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed, and you’re done!
- Serve & Enjoy:Spoon this creamy goodness over egg noodles or mashed potatoes and dig in.
Notes
Pro Tip: Want extra richness? Stir in a splash of heavy cream or a knob of butter at the end.
Now, grab a fork and enjoy a bowl of pure comfort!
