Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Flour, for dredging

Cooking

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or more, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or more, to taste)
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup full fat sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle them evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, coating thoroughly.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in two batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for about 3 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is lightly browned. Use tongs to flip. For the second batch, add an extra tablespoon of olive oil if the pan is dry. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  3. Sauté vegetables: Add the butter to the same pan and let it melt. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until the mushrooms release their water, which then evaporates, and the mushrooms develop a nice sear.
  4. Add flavorings: Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute to blend the flavors.
  5. Deglaze and combine: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Cook together for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat the chicken thoroughly.
  6. Add sour cream and finish: Stir in the sour cream and heat through gently for about a minute, avoiding boiling to prevent curdling. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • To avoid curdling, do not let the sour cream boil once added.
  • You can adjust the amount of Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce to suit your taste preferences.
  • Serving suggestions: this stroganoff pairs beautifully with egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
  • For a lighter version, use low-fat sour cream and reduce the oil used for cooking.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F to guarantee safety without overcooking.
