Chicken Stroganoff

This incredibly flavorful and one-pot Chicken Stroganoff comes together in just a few minutes and is perfectly heartwarming and tummy-filling. This dish is instant nostalgia in a bowl, and is what comfort food is made of!

I am always looking for ways to give chicken a new spin, and this recipe gives it all new life. Let's face it, chicken is the budget-friendly workhorse of family dinners, but it can still be great!

Ingredients

This ingredient list may look long, but it is mostly pantry staples, seasonings, fats, and sauces. Nothing wildly out of the ordinary. This Chicken Stroganoff is a comforting dish and it should be easy to throw together.

The one ingredient that isn't a deal breaker is the mushrooms. If you or your family are not a fan, you could totally leave them out if you like.

Method

Before you do anything, throw a big pot of water on the stove to boil your pasta in. It should come to a boil by the time you get your chicken taken care of.

I am a HUGE fan of tenderizing the chicken. Pound it out between two pieces of cling film for no mess, then dust with seasoned flour, and sear it off in a large skillet. Let it rest on a plate till needed.

In the same skillet you sear the chicken off in, cook the onions, mushrooms, and garlic until the mushrooms are golden brown. If you are leaving the mushrooms out, just cook the onions until softened, then toss in the garlic for 30 seconds before moving on to the next step.

Make the sauce by deglazing the pan with the wine and dijon, and cook in the flour for a minute to make a quick roux that will thicken the sauce.

Stir in the stock and sour cream until a beautiful sauce forms and the sour cream completely melts into it.

Finally, dice the chicken and stir it back into the pan.

Be sure to use a nice big skillet or even a deep Dutch oven to sear the chicken in and make the sauce. I like to let this be a one-pot Chicken Stroganoff, so while you can spoon the chicken sauce over the pasta to serve, I like to just toss the pasta right in with the sauce and you're good to go.

Notes

Notes & Tips

Don't skip the step of tenderizing the chicken. If you don't have a meat mallet, use a heavy saute pan or a sturdy (empty) wine bottle to flatten the chicken. It makes a huge difference in the final texture of the chicken.

When cooking the mushrooms, don't just stick to a time limit. Cook them till them they begin to get a deep golden brown. Turn your heat up till this happens if necessary.

I still consider this a one-pot wonder, even though you cook the pasta in a second pot. Dishes are still minimal and almost everything cooks in the same giant skillet.

Substitutions

I use chicken breast because that is what my family prefers. However, you can absolutely use ANY cut of chicken you prefer for this recipe, I just suggest that it be boneless.

One of my favorite spices is Roasted Garlic Powder. You will see many of my recipes call for it. It adds that little extra flavor that makes people ask why this is so good. But use regular garlic powder if you can not locate it.

If you would like to keep this recipe gluten-free, dust the chicken with cornstarch in place of the flour. And for the sauce, replace the flour with cornstarch too, but mix it with equal parts water and stir it in with the beef stock. Also, opt for gluten-free pasta or serve over rice.

If you would like to keep this recipe dairy-free, replace the butter with more olive oil or coconut oil. Also, swap the sour cream for a plant-based sour cream, they work great as a replacement.

I like crimini mushrooms for the easy accessibility and rich flavor. But feel free to leave the mushrooms out if your family doesn't love them, or swap them for your favorite mushroom. Any readily available supermarket mushroom will work here.
