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 Gourmet Stroganoff Recipe, you'll want to use Shiitake mushrooms if possible.
Their earthy, smoky flavor is just right for this chicken mushroom stroganoff. However, portobello or white mushrooms will also work, so use what you've got!

Paprika: The Secret Spice
The spice that really makes this 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.
How To Make Chicken Stroganoff
- 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 chicken stroganoff recipe!
- In a skillet, melt a teaspoon of butter and sauté your 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.
- 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. Add your shallot and cook another 3 minutes or so. By now your kitchen smells ah-mazing.
- 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. Let this all simmer and meld over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- All that's left is to sprinkle your creamy mushroom chicken stroganoff meal with some fresh parsley and serve it right away. Enjoy!
Cook's Tip
If your chicken pieces are larger and you need more sauce, simply add a little extra sour cream.

Instead of chicken breast I like the to cut up boneless thighs. They have way more flavor.
Maureen says
This was delicious! Next time I make it I will serve over rice, there was lots of sauce.

Maureen, thank you so much for your comment and a 5-star rating! I'm happy you enjoyed this recipe!
Farrah says
Can this be made a head of time and frozen?
Iryna says
Since Stroganoff is a creamy dish, it's not the best for freezing. However, you can freeze it if you make it up to just before adding the cream.

I love this recipe. I’m in Chicago it’s December. Definitely a comfort food dish.Simple ingredients, I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. I agree, the paprika makes a huge difference.
Iryna says
Hi Johanna! Thank you for your comment! I know Chicago is cold and always windy:) I'm happy you enjoyed this recipe and that the chicken thighs worked out well!

This is EXCELLENT, I made it with Tofutti non-dairy sour cream. This is a keeper recipe!
Iryna says
Sharlene, thank you so much for your comment and a 5-star rating! I'm happy you loved this recipe!
Lisa says
Recipe is very easy, and the shitake mushrooms are a plus. It would be helpful if it listed the chicken by weight, instead of "2 chicken breasts", which is ambiguous (does it mean two whole breasts or 2 halves? What size?). Also, even though I added extra sour cream and about about 3 oz of pinot grigio, it didn't yield near enough sauce, not like in the photo. If I were making it again, I would add some chicken broth and a thickener like potato starch or arrowroot.
Iryna says
Thank you for comment Lisa! I guess the chicken breasts that I used in a recipe were on a smaller size because I had enough of sauce. Nevertheless, I'm going to edit the post and add more specific information and some troubleshooting tips. In either case, I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad you liked the recipe!
