Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cut into strips
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups egg noodles, cooked

Prepare all ingredients before starting the cooking process for best results.

Instructions

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic, cooking until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture, about 5 minutes.

Make the Sauce

Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and then stir in the sour cream until smooth.

Combine and Serve

Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Serve over cooked egg noodles and enjoy!

Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor and color.

Nutritional Information

Chicken Stroganoff is not only delicious but also a nutritious choice for a meal. Chicken breast is a lean source of protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. The addition of mushrooms provides dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making this dish a wholesome option.

When made with low-fat sour cream, this recipe can be tailored to fit a healthier lifestyle without sacrificing flavor. Pairing it with whole grain noodles or brown rice can further enhance its nutritional profile, offering additional fiber and nutrients.

Variations to Try

Feel free to get creative with your Chicken Stroganoff! You can add other vegetables such as bell peppers, peas, or spinach for added color and nutrition. For a smoky flavor, consider incorporating some smoked paprika or using a splash of white wine in the sauce.

If you're looking for a vegetarian alternative, substitute the chicken with hearty tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. This gives you a similar creamy texture and flavor profile while keeping it plant-based.
