Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) chicken breast, cut into thin strips
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces (227 grams) mushrooms, sliced
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Serving Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) egg noodles
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles according to package guidelines, then drain and reserve to the side.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium temperature. Season poultry with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear meat until golden and caramelized, approximately 5-6 minutes. Transfer protein to a separate plate.
- Utilize the identical skillet to sauté diced onions and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, roughly 3 minutes. Introduce sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and become tender.
- Dust the vegetable mixture with flour, stirring thoroughly to create a roux-like consistency. Slowly incorporate chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent clumping and create a smooth sauce.
- Blend sour cream, Dijon mustard, and remaining paprika into the skillet, allowing the sauce to gently simmer and thicken for 3-5 minutes.
- Reintroduce the seared chicken into the creamy sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly coated and heated completely through.
- Plate the stroganoff over prepared egg noodles, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Swap out egg noodles for zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice to create a low-carb version that’s equally delicious and satisfying.
- Ensure chicken is cut into uniform pieces for even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use full-fat sour cream for richer flavor, but Greek yogurt works perfectly as a healthier alternative with similar creamy consistency.
- Toast paprika in the skillet for 30 seconds before adding to enhance its deep, smoky flavor profile and release more complex aromatics.
