Rich Chicken Stroganoff is a creamy, comforting dish featuring tender chicken pieces coated in flour and sautéed to a golden brown, then simmered in a luscious mushroom sauce enriched with sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. This classic meal is perfect for a satisfying dinner that combines savory flavors with a smooth, velvety texture.

Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 2 chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and black pepper, as desired
  • flour, for coating
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra as needed

For the creamy mushroom sauce:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or add to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast halves into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Coat each piece lightly in flour to help create a crust during cooking.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the coated chicken pieces without overcrowding. Cook about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Transfer to a plate. Add more olive oil if necessary, then cook remaining chicken pieces and transfer together with the first batch.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Reduce heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables release moisture and mushrooms are seared.
  4. Add Flavorings: Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but garlic does not burn.
  5. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in chicken broth, scraping browned bits from pan with a wooden spoon. Return chicken to skillet. Simmer 2 minutes, stirring, to meld flavors and warm chicken.
  6. Finish with Sour Cream: Lower heat to low. Stir in sour cream until sauce is smooth and heated through about 1 minute. Do not boil to prevent curdling. Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

  • To ensure even browning, avoid overcrowding the skillet when frying the chicken; cook in batches.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for a richer, creamier sauce; low-fat versions can curdle more easily.
  • You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms if unavailable.
  • Serving suggestions: pair with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or steamed rice for a complete meal.
  • For an extra touch of flavor, garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
