Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounce mushrooms (cremini or your choice), sliced
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Cook Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook until soft. Stir in the garlic and mushrooms, and continue cooking until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
3. Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
4. Deglaze and Simmer: Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring. Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens, and the chicken is heated through.
6. Serve: Garnish the Creamy Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff with fresh chopped parsley and serve it over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
To enhance the flavor and texture of your Creamy Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff, consider these helpful tips:
Experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, or portobello, to add depth and complexity to the dish.
If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can use a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoon water) instead of flour to thicken the sauce.
For a touch of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the sauce.
If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk or a plant-based cream alternative.
While this recipe features chicken, you can also use beef, pork, or even tofu as the protein base for your Creamy Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff.
