- \n
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into strips or bite-sized pieces)<\/li>\n
- 1 tablespoon olive oil<\/li>\n
- 1 small onion, chopped<\/li>\n
- 2 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional but adds flavor!)<\/li>\n
- 1 cup chicken broth<\/li>\n
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard<\/li>\n
- 1 tablespoon flour (for thickening)<\/li>\n
- 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)<\/li>\n
- Salt and pepper, to taste<\/li>\n
- Fresh parsley, chopped (to garnish)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you\u2019re not a fan of mushrooms, you can swap them for other veggies, and you can even try heavy cream for a richer sauce.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s Get Cooking: Step-by-Step Guide<\/h3>\n
1. Cook the Chicken<\/strong><\/p>\n
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your chicken with salt and pepper, then cook it until it\u2019s golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside.<\/p>\n
2. Saut\u00e9 the Aromatics<\/strong><\/p>\n
In the same skillet, add your chopped onion and minced garlic. Saut\u00e9 for a couple of minutes until the onion softens. If you\u2019re using mushrooms, toss them in next and cook for about 2 more minutes.<\/p>\n
3. Create the Creamy Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms, stirring it to form a paste. Pour in the chicken broth slowly while stirring to combine everything. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, thickening and picking up all those tasty flavors from the pan.<\/p>\n
4. Add the Creaminess<\/strong><\/p>\n
Stir in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and Dijon mustard for that creamy, tangy flavor. Taste and season with a little more salt and pepper if needed. Let the sauce simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n
5. Bring It All Together<\/strong><\/p>\n
Add your cooked chicken back into the skillet, stirring it so it\u2019s well coated in that luscious sauce. Let it all cook together for a couple more minutes to meld the flavors.<\/p>\n
6. Serve and Enjoy<\/strong><\/p>\n
Serve your Chicken Stroganoff over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes\u2014whatever you prefer! Sprinkle a little fresh parsley on top to make it look as good as it tastes.<\/p>\n
