Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 cups egg noodles or rice (cooked)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and half the paprika, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and the remaining paprika. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and begin to release their liquid.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the sour cream and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the chicken to heat through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Serve the chicken stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
