This super-easy homemade chicken stroganoff recipe is warm and comforting. A nice variation to the classic Beef Stroganoff, perfect for a weeknight meal that the whole family will love. I love to serve it with a side of my No Knead Artisan Bread and a crispy green salad or a side of green beans.

Why this recipe works

It is loaded with tender chicken, mushrooms, and a super creamy sauce like my Cajun Chicken and Sausage Pasta or my Skillet Chicken with Garlic Cream Sauce. Chicken stroganoff is a delicious, easy-to-make, and nutritious dish that is the perfect quick dinner for any occasion, whether you’re cooking for yourself or for a group of friends or family members.

Ingredients Needed

Ingredient Notes

• Chicken: I like to use boneless chicken thighs. But if you prefer chicken breasts, those work too, just be careful not to overcook them.
• Mushrooms: Brown cremini mushrooms, or white button mushrooms.
• Stock: Use chicken stock or chicken broth.
• Worcestershire sauce: Do not leave this out.
• Sour cream: Use full-fat.
• Pasta: You can really use any pasta with chicken stroganoff. I prefer extra-wide egg noodles. Whatever you choose just make sure you cook your pasta al dente.

How to make this recipe

• Step 1: Heat a 12-inch large skillet on medium-high heat add olive oil and add the bite-size pieces of chicken in batches into the hot pan. Cook until they become golden brown, and remove to a plate.
• Step 2: Cook chicken pieces until browned and remove to a plate.

• Step 3: Add in some butter and the diced onions and cook. Then add in the sliced mushrooms and garlic.
• Step 4: Stir in the flour and cook for 30 seconds.

• Step 5: Add in the rest of the ground spices.
• Step 6: Pour in the chicken stock and whisk until combined then bring to a gentle simmer.

• Step 7: Whisk in the sour cream until creamy.
• Step 8: Mix back in the cooked chicken and pasta and serve!

Recipe Tips

• The brown bits on the bottom of the pan from cooking the chicken are called fond. It gives the sauce that delicious flavor.
• Cook the chicken in batches or else the chicken will steam and not be able to get that golden brown color.
• As the stroganoff sits, it will begin to thicken and absorb into the noodles.
