Ingredients

Scale

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

Sauce and Vegetables

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or 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. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then lightly coat each piece with flour to help achieve a golden crust when cooked.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the floured chicken breasts and cook until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Onion: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted and heated, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and chopped onions. Sauté until they are tender and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Add Flavorings: Stir in the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into the mushroom and onion mixture. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the flavors meld together.
  5. Simmer with Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly by simmering for 3-4 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
  6. Finish the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the full-fat sour cream until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Avoid boiling to prevent sour cream from curdling.
  7. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them thoroughly with the creamy sauce. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes to meld flavors together.
  8. Serve: Serve the rich chicken stroganoff hot over your choice of egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Notes

  • To prevent the sour cream from curdling, always add it on low heat and avoid boiling after adding it.
  • Flouring the chicken helps create a nice crust and thickens the sauce slightly as the flour cooks out.
  • Adjust the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce amounts to your preferred taste for tanginess and depth.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for the best creamy texture, but low-fat can be substituted with slight changes in creaminess.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
