Ingredients Notes For Chicken Stroganoff

1. Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces. 2. Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms, such as cremini or button, add a savory depth to the sauce. 3. Sour Cream: Adds creaminess and tanginess to the sauce. 4. Beef Broth: Provides a rich, savory base for the sauce. Chicken broth can also be used.

Recipe Steps

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Cut 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs into bite-sized pieces.
   • Season with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter.
   • Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Make the Sauce:
   • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
   • Gradually stir in 2 cups of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
   • Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Combine and Finish:
   • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.
   • Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of sour cream until well blended. Do not let the sauce boil to prevent curdling.
   • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the Chicken Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
   • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
