How To Make Chicken Stroganoff

Ingredients

• Extra virgin olive oil — Avocado or coconut oil will also work.  
• Chicken — One pound of chicken breast meat cut into 1-inch cubes. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.  
• Mushrooms — I generally use cremini mushrooms.  
• Aromatics — Fresh onion and garlic. You can also use garlic powder if you prefer.
• White wine — Wine adds fantastic flavor to this dish, but be sure to use white wine, not red. If preferred, you can also substitute extra broth.
• Chicken broth — Vegetable stock is another good option.
• Dijon mustard — I generally buy finely ground mustard. Add a bit of Worcestershire sauce if you prefer.
• Cornstarch — In this recipe, we’ll mix corn starch with a bit of cold water, then use it as a thickening agent!   
• Sour cream — For a silky, smooth, and flavorful sauce. You can also use full-fat cream cheese.
• Chopped fresh parsley leaves — Optional garnish.  
• Pasta – To serve the chicken stroganoff with.

Instructions

Prep work:

• First, cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
• Then dice the onion, mince the garlic, and clean/slice the mushrooms.

Sauté:

• Measure olive oil (or oil of choice) into a large skillet and place it on the stovetop. Turn the heat to medium-high.
• Sprinkle diced chicken generously with salt and pepper. Sear cubes in oil for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and tender. Set aside. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook the chicken in shifts so it can brown properly.
• Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for approximately 5 minutes. For best results, you may also need to cook the mushrooms in batches. Once seared, put the mushrooms aside.
• If you need to, add another drizzle of olive oil to your pan and then sauté diced onions for 2-3 minutes. Once they’re becoming translucent, add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds longer.

• Place the mushrooms back in the pan. Add white wine, broth, and mustard. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Mix well and allow ingredients to simmer together for about 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch together with 2 tablespoons of cool water. Stir this mixture into the hot broth, and it will begin to thicken as it simmers.
• Stir browned chicken into the skillet, then add salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat off and mix in your sour cream.

Serve:

• Spoon stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley leaves and enjoy!
