Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounce mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. 1. Cook Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. 2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Then, add the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
3. 3. Add Flavor: Stir in the paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
4. 4. Deglaze: Pour in the chicken broth and Dijon mustard, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. 5. Finish Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
6. 6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the Chicken Stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
The secret to a flavorful Chicken Stroganoff is to sear the chicken to develop a nice crust, sauté the vegetables to bring out their natural sweetness, and deglaze the pan to incorporate all the delicious browned bits. This creates a rich, velvety sauce that coats the chicken and mushrooms perfectly.
