Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth, low sodium
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, plain and non-fat
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and the onions are soft.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring to avoid burning.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and paprika until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the stroganoff hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley. Pair it with rice, pasta, or zucchini noodles for a complete meal.
