Creamy Chicken Stroganoff (Printable Version)

Tender chicken in a rich mushroom sauce served over noodles or rice with a creamy touch and fresh parsley.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken

01 - 1.3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized strips
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

→ Vegetables

05 - 9 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
06 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Sauce

08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
09 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
10 - 1 cup chicken stock
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 teaspoon paprika
13 - 1/2 cup sour cream, full-fat recommended
14 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

# Directions:

01 - Season the chicken strips evenly with salt and black pepper, then toss them in the flour to coat thoroughly.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in batches until golden on all sides but not fully cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Remove from skillet and set aside.
03 - Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet, then sauté onions and mushrooms until softened and golden, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
04 - Sprinkle paprika over the vegetables, pour in chicken stock while scraping up browned bits from the pan, then stir in Dijon mustard.
05 - Return the browned chicken along with any accumulated juices to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 7 to 8 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce slightly thickens.
06 - Remove skillet from heat. Stir in sour cream and chopped parsley until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
07 - Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with additional fresh parsley.
