A 30-minute, one-pan creamy chicken stroganoff made with tender chicken, golden mushrooms, and a rich, tangy sour cream sauce. This cozy, comforting dinner is quick, satisfying, and perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 pieces large chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Sauce Base
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
For the Creamy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.66 cup chicken broth, low-sodium preferred
- 0.5 cup full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken to coat lightly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add half the chicken in a single layer and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Add the remaining oil and repeat with the second batch.
- Add butter to the skillet. Stir in mushrooms and onions. Cook 6–8 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.
- Stir in the garlic, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes, then return the chicken and its juices to the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the room-temperature sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra vegetables, stir in fresh spinach at the end. For a gluten-free version, swap flour for a cornstarch slurry. Add sour cream off the heat to prevent curdling.
