Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • All-purpose flour for dredging
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 12 tbsp Dijon mustard, to taste
  • 12 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅔ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge them lightly in flour, shaking off excess.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in batches, about 3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and butter. Sauté mushrooms and onions until browned and liquid has evaporated (6-8 minutes).
  • Add Aromatics: Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Finish the Sauce: Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve: Serve the chicken stroganoff over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Notes

  • Protein Alternatives: Swap chicken for turkey or lean beef for different flavors.
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with additional mushrooms or plant-based protein for a vegetarian dish.
  • Spice Level: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Herbs: Fresh parsley or thyme can be added for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of broth if necessary.
