Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams White mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked rice or egg noodles (for serving)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Sprinkle the paprika over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Combine well to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Return the chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the sauce. Allow the stroganoff to simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve over cooked rice or egg noodles.
