Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Flour for dredging
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or more, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or more, to taste)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
- Season and flour chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season them evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess to ensure an even coating.
- Brown chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté mushrooms and onion: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and chopped onion. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent.
- Add garlic, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce: Stir in the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook the mixture for about 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld and the garlic to become fragrant.
- Add chicken broth and return chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the browned chicken breasts to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to cook through and absorb the flavors.
- Stir in sour cream: Gently fold in the full-fat sour cream to the skillet, stirring carefully to combine without curdling. Heat the sauce through until warmed but do not boil.
- Season and serve: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve the chicken stroganoff immediately, ideally over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
Notes
- Be careful not to boil the sauce after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
- You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms if preferred.
- For a thicker sauce, reduce the chicken broth slightly before adding the sour cream.
- Feel free to add fresh parsley as a garnish for a pop of color and freshness.
- This recipe is easily doubled for larger gatherings.
