Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into 1” pieces
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Flour (for dredging)

Cooking Fat

  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp butter

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or more to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or more to taste)
  • ⅔ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream

Instructions

  1. Season & Dredge Chicken: Season chicken pieces evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lightly coat each piece with flour, shaking off any excess flour to ensure a thin dredge.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in batches, avoiding overcrowding, until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms and chopped onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Flavorings: Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld and the garlic to become fragrant.
  5. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan with a spoon to release browned bits. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly and the chicken to cook through.
  6. Finish with Sour Cream: Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream gently, heating through without letting it boil to prevent curdling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken when searing, as it will cook further when simmered.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Do not boil the sauce once sour cream is added to avoid curdling.
  • Serve this stroganoff over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  • Leftover stroganoff can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
