Creamy Chicken Stroganoff

A comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, perfect over noodles or rice.

I remember making this recipe for my family after a chilly day outside and everyone gathered eagerly around the table, drawn in by the savory aroma. The sauce was so velvety, people went back for seconds without hesitation.

Ingredients

• Vegetables: 250 g (9 oz) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced, 1 medium onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Sauce: 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 tbsp olive oil, 250 ml (1 cup) chicken stock, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp paprika, 120 ml (1/2 cup) sour cream (full-fat recommended), 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Coat the chicken:

Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with flour to coat evenly.

Brown the chicken:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sauté the chicken in batches until golden on all sides but not fully cooked through, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Sauté vegetables:

Add the remaining oil and butter to the pan. Sauté the onions and mushrooms until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Add flavorings:

Sprinkle in paprika, then pour in chicken stock and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in Dijon mustard.

Simmer:

Return chicken and any juices to the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7–8 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly.

Finish sauce:

Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and chopped parsley until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serve:

Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with extra parsley.
