Chicken Stroganoff
Beef Stroganoff is a retro basic we’ll love endlessly. Nonetheless, a extremely nice Beef Stroganoff does contain taking the time to slice the meat tremendous thinly, in addition to some deftness to make sure the meat is seared to perfection but nonetheless juicy on the within.
Chicken Stroganoff, however, requires significantly much less effort.
Particularly whenever you do it my means, searing entire items of boneless chicken thighs not solely as a result of it means much less prep (ie no chopping), but in addition as a result of by cooking entire chicken thighs, you’ll be able to brown them actually fantastically.
Color = flavour, each ON the chicken and IN the sauce (as a result of the brown bits left within the pan type the flavour base for the Stroganoff Sauce).
Win win win!
The way to make it
As talked about above, I like making this utilizing entire skinless, boneless chicken thighs to allow them to be cooked lengthy sufficient to brown them properly. You may use chunk dimension items as an alternative however you’ll be able to’t get as a lot color on them.
I simply frivolously season them with garlic energy, salt and pepper. We don’t want a ton of flavour on the chicken as a result of this recipe is absolutely all in regards to the Stroganoff Sauce!
And sure you may make this with chicken breast! I desire thigh as a result of it’s juicier, however breast and tenderloin will work simply high-quality.
Stroganoff Sauce
The factor that makes this Stroganoff Sauce and never simply any generic mushroom gravy is the bitter cream and mustard. These are used for flavour, color (makes the gravy paler) and thickener. Although this bitter cream gravy can be thickened with flour, like conventional gravies.
You should definitely brown the mushrooms properly which, mixed with the fond* left within the pan from searing the chicken, makes a flavour base for a severely good Stroganoff Sauce!
* “Fond” is the brown stuff left within the pan after you sear issues. Not simply proteins, even greens. For instance, on this Mushroom Rice, the rice color and flavour predominantly comes from the fond from browning the mushrooms.
What to serve with Stroganoff
Stroganoff is mostly served with noodles or pasta, however mashed potato, polenta or something that’s appropriate to slop up all that fabulous Stroganoff Sauce is right.
For a low carb various, strive Cauliflower Mash or Cauliflower Rice.
It may be served in a bowl with bread to mop up all of the sauce. *Her eyes gentle up at this thought that simply dawned on her!* Attempt these home made No Knead Rolls sooner or later – they’d be superb with this Chicken Stroganoff!

- Remove chicken onto a plate.
- Turn heat up to medium high. Add butter, melt. Then add onions, cook for 1 minute, then add mushrooms.
- Cook mushrooms until golden. Scrape bottom of fry pan to get all the golden bits off (this is flavour!).
- Add flour, cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add half the broth while stirring. Once incorporated, add remaining broth.
- Stir, then add sour cream and mustard. Stir until incorporated (don’t worry if it looks split, sour cream will “melt” as it heats).

Notes
1. Chicken – If using breast, use 2 and either slice horizontally to form 4 “steaks” in total or chop into bite size pieces. If using tenderloin, use whole or chop. If cut into bite size pieces, still follow the recipe. ie brown then remove, then return into pan.
2. Flour – Any wheat flour is fine here, I use plain white flour (all purpose). Or use 1 tbsp cornstarch / cornflour mixed with 1 tbsp water (makes it Gluten Free), mix those together then add that in with the beef broth.
3. Serving – I like serving this with pasta. It’s also great with mashed potato, rice, polenta – anything that’s suitable to slop up all that gravy!
4. Fat reduction – use low fat sour cream and reduce butter to 2 tbsp, and use a non stick pan. Mixture will seem drier once you add flour but don’t worry!
5. Nutrition per serving, excluding noodles.
