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:Â I like to use boneless chicken thighs. But if you prefer chicken breasts, those work too, just be careful not to overcook them.
- Mushrooms:Â Brown cremini mushrooms, or white button mushrooms.
- Stock:Â Use chicken stock or chicken broth.
- Worcestershire sauce:Â Do not leave this out.
- Sour cream:Â 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:Â 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:Â Cook chicken pieces until browned and remove to a plate.
- Step 3:Â Add in some butter and the diced onions and cook. Then add in the sliced mushrooms and garlic.
- Step 4:Â Stir in the flour and cook for 30 seconds.
- Step 5:Â Add in the rest of the ground spices.
- Step 6:Â Pour in the chicken stock and whisk until combined then bring to a gentle simmer.
- Step 7:Â Whisk in the sour cream until creamy.
- Step 8:Â 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.
