Step-by-Step Instructions for Rich Chicken Stroganoff

  • Prep Chicken: Cut the chicken breast halves into 1-inch pieces for even cooking. Season generously with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then coat in flour.
  • Cook Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half of the chicken for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then set aside.
  • Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and another drizzle of olive oil. Sauté sliced cremini mushrooms and diced onion for 6-8 minutes until browned.
  • Build Sauce: Stir in 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Combine: Pour in 2/3 cup of chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and return the cooked chicken to the pan to simmer briefly for about 2 minutes.
  • Finalize Sauce: Lower heat to medium-low, add 1/2 cup of full-fat sour cream, stirring until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

Ensure consistent chicken size for even cooking and avoid curdling by removing the skillet from heat before stirring in the sour cream.
