Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2/3 cup (160 ml) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) full-fat sour cream
Seasoning and Spices:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) flour (for dredging)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking Fats and Aromatics:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare chicken by seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat each piece lightly in flour, removing excess.
- Heat olive oil in a deep skillet at medium-high temperature. Cook chicken in batches for approximately 3 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Add additional oil if pan becomes dry. Transfer cooked chicken to a separate plate.
- Use the same skillet and melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onions. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, allowing liquid to evaporate and mushrooms to develop a rich golden color.
- Incorporate Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until aromatic and flavors intensify.
- Pour chicken broth into the skillet, carefully scraping browned bits from pan bottom. Return chicken pieces to the skillet, simmering for 2 minutes while occasionally stirring.
- Reduce heat and gently fold in sour cream until sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Warm through for approximately 1 minute, avoiding boiling to prevent sauce separation. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Replace wheat flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend when dredging chicken to make the dish suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Mushroom Maximization: Select fresh cremini or shiitake mushrooms for deeper, richer umami flavor that elevates the overall taste profile of the stroganoff.
- Temperature Control: Keep heat low when adding sour cream to prevent separation and maintain a silky, creamy texture throughout the sauce.
- Protein Flexibility: Swap chicken with turkey, beef, or plant-based alternatives like tofu or seitan for diverse dietary preferences without compromising the classic stroganoff essence.
