Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Flour for dredging
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Vegetables & Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or more, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or more, to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Sprinkle the chicken pieces evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, coating lightly but completely.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in two batches to avoid overcrowding, about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if the pan becomes dry during cooking. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion, cooking them for 6 to 8 minutes until the moisture evaporates and they develop a nice sear.
  4. Add Seasoning: Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Cook for about one minute until the mixture releases a fragrant aroma.
  5. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth while scraping the browned bits from the pan’s bottom to incorporate full flavor. Return the cooked chicken pieces to the pan and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine.
  6. Finish with Sour Cream: Stir in the full-fat sour cream and heat through gently for about one minute, ensuring the sauce does not boil to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly sliced cremini or button mushrooms.
  • Cooking chicken in batches helps maintain a nice sear and prevents steaming.
  • Do not boil the sauce after adding sour cream to keep it smooth and creamy.
  • Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a classic Stroganoff meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
