Ingredients

chicken-

  • 2 large chicken breasts 1 ½ pounds, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 1 Tbsp oil

chicken stroganoff sauce-

  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 12 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • Add the oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add to the pan and sauté the chicken until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, stirring as needed. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
  • To the same skillet, add the butter, onion, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until tender and golden brown.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Quickly whisk the flour in until no chunks remain. Whisk in the chicken broth, sour cream, and worcestershire sauce until smooth.
  • Turn the heat down to low and cook until the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Add the chicken back to the sauce and cook until the chicken is warmed through.

Notes

  • A​​void overcrowding the pan. Cook the chicken in batches, so it browns properly rather than steams.
  • Storage. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating. Reheat gently in a skillet with some of the sauce. If it’s too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it up.
  • Freezing. Freezing is not recommended, as the creamy sauce may separate once thawed.
