Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables

8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, diced

Liquids & Dairy

2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream

Dry Ingredients & Seasonings

3 tbsp flour
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Oils & Garnish

2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are browned.
Add Flour: Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the cooked vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Create the Sauce: Gradually pour in 2 cups of chicken broth while stirring continuously. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add Sour Cream and Garlic Powder: Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix thoroughly to form a creamy sauce.
Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat all pieces evenly with the sauce. Heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is warmed.
Serve: Serve the creamy chicken stroganoff over mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired for added color and flavor.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free alternative like cornstarch or rice flour.
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier taste and reduced fat content.
Ensure chicken pieces are cut uniformly for even cooking.
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
