Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
Dairy & Fats
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
Vegetables
- 1 onion (finely diced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 10 oz mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Pantry
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 oz egg noodles
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then cook them in the skillet until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter. Add finely diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add flour and broth: Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir thoroughly to coat them. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming in the sauce.
- Create the creamy sauce: Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, dried thyme, and black pepper. Continue to simmer the sauce until it thickens to a creamy consistency, about 5 minutes.
- Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet and toss well to coat them evenly with the creamy mushroom sauce.
- Prepare noodles and combine: Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and then mix them into the skillet with the chicken and sauce, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of color and freshness. Serve the stroganoff warm for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or use a lower-fat cream alternative.
- You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a slightly different flavor.
- Adding a splash of white wine before the chicken broth can deepen the sauce’s flavor.
- Use wide egg noodles or pappardelle for a more traditional stroganoff experience.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days—reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
