Delicious Rich Chicken Stroganoff recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the chicken:
  • 2 chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and black pepper, as desired
  • flour, for coating
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra as needed
  •  
  • For the creamy mushroom sauce:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or add to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream

Instructions

1. Cut the chicken breast halves into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle them evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Next, coat each chicken piece in flour, ensuring all sides are lightly covered. This will help create a nice crust during cooking.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add half of the coated chicken pieces, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Flip each piece once for even browning. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate. For the second batch, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil if the pan is dry, cook the remaining chicken, and transfer it to the plate along with the first batch.

3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables release their water, it evaporates, and the mushrooms are nicely seared.

4. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant.

5. Pour in the chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Return the browned chicken to the skillet and simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth. Let it heat through for about a minute, but don’t allow the mixture to boil. Taste the sauce and adjust with salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

For best results, avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.

Use full-fat sour cream for a richer texture.

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