Here’s a delicious recipe for Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff:

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups (200g) mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup (240ml) sour cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional for extra richness)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

1. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

1. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
2. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
3. Add the Dijon mustard, paprika, and more salt and pepper if needed. Stir well to combine.

Step 4: Add the Cream and Chicken

1. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir in the sour cream. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
2. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes.
3. If you want extra richness, stir in a tablespoon of butter at this stage.

Step 5: Serve

1. Serve the Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
2. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Enjoy your creamy, comforting Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff!
