Ingredients

Scale

For the 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

For the Creamy Mushroom Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or add 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. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast halves into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle them evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Coat each chicken piece lightly in flour to create a crust that will brown nicely during cooking.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add half the coated chicken pieces without overcrowding. Cook each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Flip once for even browning. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate. Add more olive oil if needed, then cook the remaining chicken and transfer to the plate.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Onion: Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates and mushrooms are nicely seared, forming the flavor base.
  4. Add Flavorings: Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to release aroma, ensuring garlic doesn’t burn.
  5. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to lift browned bits which add depth. Return browned chicken to the skillet. Simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally so flavors meld and chicken warms.
  6. Add Sour Cream and Finish: Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream until sauce is smooth. Heat through for about 1 minute without boiling to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking chicken to ensure even browning.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for the richest, creamiest sauce.
  • Do not boil after adding sour cream to avoid curdling.
  • Adjust garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce quantities to suit your taste preferences.
  • Serve stroganoff over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
