Easy and flavorful weeknight meal!

I thought I would post my Chicken Stroganoff which is a spin off of my Ground Beef Stroganoff. They are both similar but yet different.

This is another one of those recipes I have been making FOREVER and not sure why I haven’t posted it yet.

When I posted the ground beef stroganoff I instantly knew this had to follow.

How to make chicken stroganoff

  • I am using chicken breast just because it’s easy to slice and cook up quickly. I have also made this with chicken thighs as well.
  • Start by browning the chicken, onions, and mushrooms. Try to get the mushrooms nicely browned because it will add a lot of flavor and color to the gravy.
  • Stir in the garlic and flour and cook for 1 minute. This eliminates that raw flour taste. Whisk in the broth and white wine and scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. (This is where all the flavor is at!!)
  • Stir in the Worcestershire and mustard and simmer on low until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream.
  • Now decisions on what to serve this over. Traditionally stroganoff is served beside fried shoestring potatoes or over mashed potatoes (and this happens to be my favorite way) but here in America, it’s often served over egg noodles.
  • Both are very good and you can’t go wrong with either choice!

What is stroganoff sauce?

Stroganoff sauce is a Russian sauce made from pieces of browned meat (normally beef) and served in a creamy sauce made with sour cream.

It is a very old dish dating back to the 19th century and now has many variations of the recipe throughout the world.

As I mentioned previously it is typically served over mashed potatoes and occasionally rice and not egg noodles as we typically see it.

I have also read that it was served alongside fried shoestring potatoes which is a traditional Russian side.
