Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (453 grams) chicken breast, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Garnish and Serving:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Cooked egg noodles or rice
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat, adding olive oil and butter to create a sizzling cooking surface.
- Sear chicken pieces until golden brown on each side, creating a rich caramelized exterior. Transfer chicken to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, introduce diced onions and minced garlic, stirring until onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Incorporate sliced mushrooms, allowing them to develop a deep brown color and release their natural moisture.
- Dust the mushroom mixture with flour, mixing thoroughly to create a light coating that will help thicken the sauce.
- Pour chicken broth gradually, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth, lump-free sauce develops.
- Reintroduce the seared chicken to the skillet, reducing heat to low and allowing the mixture to simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
- Blend in sour cream and paprika, seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency and chicken is fully cooked.
- Plate the stroganoff over warm egg noodles or rice, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Enhance browning by patting chicken dry before searing to achieve a golden, crispy exterior that locks in moisture and flavor.
- Use a mix of mushroom varieties like cremini, shiitake, and button for a more complex, earthy taste profile that elevates the dish.
- Prevent sauce from curdling by tempering sour cream: slowly add a small amount of hot liquid to the cream before stirring into the skillet.
- Gluten-free option: substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend to maintain the sauce’s creamy consistency.
