# Instructions:
01 -
Get everything ready! Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces, slice mushrooms, and chop onion. Mince the garlic. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika for this Creamy Chicken Stroganoff in 30 Minutes. This prep is key for speed.
02 -
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the seasoned chicken pieces until lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside. Add onions and mushrooms, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
03 -
To the skillet, add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in flour, cooking for another minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and is smooth. This builds the rich base for the Creamy Chicken Stroganoff.
04 -
Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing heat to low. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce slightly reduces. Ensure the chicken is tender.
05 -
Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently fold in the room-temperature sour cream until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not boil after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. This step makes your Creamy Chicken Stroganoff truly luxurious.
06 -
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish your delicious Creamy Chicken Stroganoff in 30 Minutes with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal. Enjoy this quick, satisfying dish!
# Notes:
01 -
Always use room-temperature, full-fat sour cream and fold in off heat to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth sauce.
02 -
Store leftover Creamy Chicken Stroganoff in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
03 -
Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend or cornstarch for a delicious gluten-free version.
04 -
Serve warm over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley for ultimate comfort.
05 -
Sauté mushrooms until deeply caramelized; this enhances umami and enriches the stroganoff's flavor profile.
