How To Make Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff

1. Mix together the salt, pepper, and paprika spices. Sprinkle on your chicken and let it sit for a moment. Simple, right? But the flavor is really going to shine in this easy chicken stroganoff recipe!

2. In a large skillet, melt a teaspoon of butter and sauté the mushrooms over medium heat. You want the mushrooms golden brown, which should take about 5 minutes. Once they're done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside until later.

3. Now add the rest of your butter to the skillet and let it melt. Cook your chicken, 3-4 minutes on each side, until it's cooked and tender. Add your shallot and cook another 3 minutes or so. By now your kitchen smells ah-mazing.

4. Add in your garlic and about 30 second later add the mushrooms back in. Lastly, stir in the dijon and sour cream, the final ingredients in your perfect stroganoff sauce recipe. Scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let this creamy chicken stroganoff simmer and meld over low heat for about 5 minutes. If your chicken pieces are larger and you need more sour cream sauce, simply add a little extra sour cream.

5. All that's left is to sprinkle your creamy chicken mushroom stroganoff meal with some fresh parsley and serve it right away. Enjoy!

Cook's Tip For The Best Creamy Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff

Thanks to a few secret ingredients, this easy classic Russian stroganoff recipe comes out absolutely delicious.

The creamy stroganoff sauce is made up of only a few carefully chosen ingredients that combine for the ultimate in creamy goodness.

1. Choose The Right Mushrooms.

Many people think that a mushroom is just a mushroom. But there are so many varieties to choose from!

From the small white capped mushrooms to Chanterelles to Portobello, mushroom choices abound.

And for this easy Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff Recipe, you'll want to use Shiitake mushrooms if possible.

Their earthy, smoky flavor is just right for this easy chicken mushroom stroganoff. However, portobello or white mushrooms will also work, so use what you've got!

2. Paprika: The Secret Spice

The spice that really makes this best Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff recipe shine is smoked paprika.

Combined with the regular paprika, it adds just a hint of the smoky mountain flavor this recipe is known for...and oh, wow, is it amazing what that little pinch of smoky goodness can add to your meal!

If you haven't used this spice a lot, you're in for a treat and it's about to become your new kitchen bestie.

There are sweet, hot, regular, and smoked paprika varieties and you'll want smoked for this in addition to your regular spice.

Variations & Substitutions

Chicken. If you don't have chicken breast, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs. They cook the same at the chicken breast. You can even use the leftover rotisserie chicken. In that case, your easy chicken mushroom stroganoff will be ready before you know it.

Shallot. You can substitute it with a half of white or yellow onion.

Stroganoff sauce. There are many variations of creamy chicken stroganoff recipe. Some call for dredging chicken in flour, and then mixing chicken broth and sour cream for the stroganoff sauce. In my opinion, and based on my research, this is unnecessary. Using sour cream without the addition of flour and broth, is enough to create a perfect creamy dreamy stroganoff sauce that everyone will be talking about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage Tips

This Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff should be stored in the airtight container in the refrigerator where it will last for about 3 days.

I don't recommend to freeze this dish as the sauce is dairy-based and it may separate when defrosted.

If you still want to try and freeze it, I recommend freezing the chicken in the freezer bags. Reheat in a skillet covered with a lid. You might need to add a few tablespoons of chicken broth or extra sour cream to loosen up the sauce.
