Creamy Chicken Stroganoff
This creamy chicken stroganoff recipe delivers rich flavour with tender chicken and sour cream sauce. Quick, comforting and perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
For The Stroganoff:
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into Chunks
- 2 Onions, Finely Chopped
- 4 Garlic Cloves, Crushed
- 1 Tbsp Sweet Paprika
- 400ml Chicken Stock
- 4 Tsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 200g Soured Cream (Or Crème Fraîche)
- A Large Handful Of Parsley, Chopped
To Serve:
- Rice, Mash Or Pasta
Instructions
- Brown The Chicken: Heat half the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season, and cook until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Cook Aromatics: In the same pan, heat the remaining oil. Add onions, frying for about 6-8 minutes until softened (but not browned). Add garlic and paprika, cook another minute until fragrant.
- Build The Sauce: Pour in the chicken stock, add Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Return chicken (with any juices) to the pan. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until sauce is reduced slightly and chicken cooked through.
- Add Cream: Reduce heat to low. Stir in the soured cream (or crème fraîche) until the sauce is just simmering. Do not boil.
- Finish & Garnish: Stir through chopped parsley. Serve over your choice of rice, mashed potato, or pasta.
Notes
- Lighter Version: Use half-fat or low-fat soured cream to reduce calories and fat.
- Chicken Thigh Option: You can swap chicken breasts for chicken thigh fillets for juicier texture—they may need slightly longer cooking.
- Don’t Overheat Cream: Avoid boiling after adding cream — high heat can cause curdling.
- Make-Ahead: The sauce and chicken can be prepared ahead and gently reheated before serving.
