🍗 What Makes This Recipe So Good
If tender, perfectly-cooked chicken smothered in a rich cream sauce and served with a helping of delicious noodles is your thing, then you will LOVE this chicken stroganoff recipe. It has all the incredible flavors of classic beef stroganoff but swaps out the protein for a slightly different take. Making this recipe is really SO easy. Don’t let the instructions intimidate you! It’s really just a matter of adding ingredients to the skillet one at a time, letting each one cook a little before adding more. To keep things moving as quickly as possible, prepare the chicken and sauce while the egg noodles boil. You’ll have dinner ready before you know it! Stroganoff is a super hearty, super satisfying, super comforting dish. We paired it with egg noodles, which is a pretty typical combo. If you want, you can totally skip the noodles and serve the chicken and sauce over a bed of mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or mashed cauliflower. I also like to include something green along with it, like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, or green beans.
👩🏼🍳 Chef’s Tips
Sour cream gives the stroganoff sauce its familiar flavor, but you’re in charge here. If you don’t have or don’t want to use sour cream, you can replace it with plain Greek yogurt or softened cream cheese. If the sauce becomes too thick with your substitute of choice, just stir in a little more chicken broth to thin it back out. Chicken stroganoff can totally be made with chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs. Keep a close eye on the chicken breast pieces as they cook – they typically don’t need as much time as chicken thighs. To be sure your chicken pieces cook through at the same rate, cut them into evenly-sized pieces to start. If your chicken pieces are all different sizes, some will cook faster than others. That increases the chances of having tough, overcooked pieces of chicken.
