Chicken
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Sauce and Vegetables
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ⅓ cup sour cream
To Serve
- Cooked egg noodles
- Parsley, for garnish
- Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken chunks with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken pieces with the spices.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken chunks in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Onion, Garlic, and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the sliced baby bella mushrooms and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are browned.
- Create the Roux: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the unsalted butter to the cleared space and allow it to melt. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the butter and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes to cook the flour and form a roux, which will thicken the sauce.
- Add the Liquids: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, blending thoroughly to avoid lumps. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken into a creamy sauce, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine Chicken and Sour Cream: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce and vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through for a couple of minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy chicken stroganoff over cooked egg noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Ensure that the chicken is cooked through during searing to maintain tenderness.
- Do not boil the sauce after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Use baby bella mushrooms for a rich, earthy flavor; cremini can be a substitute.
- Egg noodles can be swapped for any pasta of your choice, such as fettuccine or pappardelle.
- This dish can be made gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensuring Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free.
