Ingredients
Scale
- Main Components:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- Flavor & Texture Builders:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Finishing Touches:
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions
- Sear Chicken: Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside, reserving skillet. This kickstarts your Creamy Chicken Stroganoff 30 Minutes.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add more butter if needed to the same skillet. Sauté chopped onion and sliced mushrooms until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic for one minute until fragrant. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Build Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer; it will thicken slightly. This forms the luscious base.
- Simmer Stroganoff: Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Gently fold everything together and simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Cook Noodles: While the sauce simmers, cook wide egg noodles according to package directions in a separate pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well. This ensures perfect pairing with your Creamy Chicken Stroganoff.
- Combine & Finish: Add the drained egg noodles directly to the stroganoff sauce in the skillet. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and optional heavy cream, if using, to emulsify and achieve extra richness.
- Serve Warm: Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Ladle generous portions of your delicious Creamy Chicken Stroganoff 30 Minutes onto plates. Garnish with additional fresh parsley. Enjoy this comforting meal immediately with your loved ones.
