How to Make Chicken Stroganoff

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3: Cook the Mushrooms and Deglaze

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the alcohol cooks off.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

Add the flour to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth. The sauce should begin to thicken. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream.¹ Simmer until the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and cook for 2 more minutes, or until heated through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

How to Serve Chicken Stroganoff

• Classic: Serve the Chicken Stroganoff over a bed of cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
• Other Options: You can also serve it with rice, polenta, or crusty bread.
• Garnish: Garnish with additional fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color.
