Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • 12 oz egg noodles for serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add butter and sauté onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and become golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir for 1 minute. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes (do not boil). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. While the sauce simmers, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Serve stroganoff over hot noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Temperature Control: Always add sour cream to a warm sauce, not boiling, to prevent curdling. Mushroom Selection: Cremini mushrooms provide the best flavor, but white mushrooms work too. Chicken Options: Thighs stay juicier than breasts and add more flavor.
