Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by slicing your chicken breast and dicing the onion. Mince the garlic and slice the mushrooms.
Cooking Chicken
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Sautéing Vegetables
  1. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until it’s translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 4-5 minutes.
Making the Sauce
  1. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Combining Everything
  1. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, stirring to coat the chicken in the sauce. Let it heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Serving
  1. Plate your egg noodles or rice, and spoon the chicken stroganoff over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

If you’re looking to customize this recipe, feel free to swap chicken breast for chicken thighs for a juicier bite. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of chicken broth or water to revive the creaminess.
