Ingredients

  • 2 whole Chicken breasts pounded and sliced lengthwise
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasonings
  • 1 tbsp flour + flour for dredging
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 ½ cup cremini mushroom sliced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped
  • ½ each Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked penne pasta to serve

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts halves with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasonings. Coat the chicken with flour on all the sides.
  • Heat a large skillet with oil on a medium flame, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes until they turn golden. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  • To the same skillet add the butter. Once the butter is melted add the onions, minced garlic and mushrooms. Saute for 5-6 minutes until the moisture releases from mushrooms.
  • Sprinkle a tablespoon of flour and mix it, add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard and chicken broth. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the sour cream and let it simmer for 2 more minutes and add the chicken back to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.
  • Check for seasonings and add chopped parsley on top and serve the creamy chicken stroganoff over the pasta.

Notes

  • Pound the chicken with a meat mallet to even the thickness of the chicken breast so they cook evenly.
  • When reheating the dish, be sure to reheat over low heat.
  • Any flour works in this recipe. Whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour can be used instead.
  • I recommend not substituting the sour cream with something else. It adds a tangy flavor and creaminess that Stroganoff is known for. But if sour cream is not available in your area, you can use some cream cheese since it does not curdle up with heat.
  • Make sure the skillet is hot when you add the chicken to it as it helps give the breasts a nice golden sear.
  • You can check the doneness of the chicken by using a meat thermometer. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The thermometer should read 165 F.
  • If the chicken was frozen beforehand, be sure to pat dry the chicken so the skin can crisp up. If there’s moisture on the skin, the seasoning won’t stick very well to the chicken breasts.
  • Add chili flakes to make is spicy.
