Creamy Chicken Stroganoff (Printable)

Tender chicken cooked with mushrooms in a rich, creamy sauce, ideal 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

# How to Make It:

01 - Season chicken strips with salt and pepper, then evenly coat with all-purpose flour.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken in batches until golden on all sides but not fully cooked, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
03 - Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Sauté onion and mushrooms until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
04 - Sprinkle paprika over vegetables, then pour in chicken stock, scraping browned bits from the pan. Stir in Dijon mustard to combine.
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 fully cooked and sauce slightly thickens.
06 - Remove skillet from heat. Stir in sour cream and chopped parsley until sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as desired.
07 - Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with additional parsley.
