How to Make Chicken Stroganoff

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

• Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook the chicken in two batches until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter to the skillet.
• Add the mushrooms and onions, sautéing for 6-8 minutes until browned and any liquid has evaporated.

Step 4: Build the Sauce

• Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
• Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 5: Finish with Sour Cream

• Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until fully combined.
• Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

• Serve immediately over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.

Tips & Variations

Make It Creamier – Add ¼ cup heavy cream for an even richer sauce.
Prefer a Thicker Sauce? – Add 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with a little water before adding the sour cream.
Want More Flavor? – Try adding a splash of white wine before the broth for depth.
Dairy-Free Option – Swap sour cream for coconut cream or a dairy-free alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I Use Chicken Thighs Instead of Breasts?
Yes! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs will work just as well and add extra juiciness.

How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

Can I Freeze Chicken Stroganoff?
Yes! However, the sour cream may separate when reheating. Stir well and add a splash of broth or cream to bring the sauce back together.
