Instructions

Cook the Egg Noodles

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.

Make the Sauce

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Gradually add chicken broth while stirring. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Serve

Serve the stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles. Enjoy!

Feel free to garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, Chicken Stroganoff can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. This makes it a fantastic option for meal prep or for enjoying later in the week. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream to maintain its creamy texture.

For longer storage, consider freezing the stroganoff without the egg noodles. It can be frozen for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy it again, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Cook fresh egg noodles as needed to serve alongside the thawed stroganoff.

Variations to Try

While this Chicken Stroganoff recipe is delicious as is, don’t hesitate to experiment with different proteins. Beef stroganoff is a classic variation, but you can also use turkey or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Each alternative brings its own unique flavor profile, allowing you to switch things up based on your dietary preferences.

You can also experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or portobello, to add depth and richness to the dish. Additionally, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor. The key is to have fun with the recipe and make it your own!
