Ingredients

500 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging

3 tbsp olive oil, divided

2 tbsp butter

250 g cremini mushrooms, sliced

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup chicken broth

3/4 cup full-fat sour cream

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in 2 batches, about 3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (165°F). Add 1 tablespoon oil for the second batch if needed. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  3. Melt butter in the same skillet. Add mushrooms and onion; sauté 6–8 minutes until softened, liquid has evaporated, and mushrooms are nicely seared.
  4. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic; cook 1 minute.
  5. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Return chicken to the skillet and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream and warm through gently, about 1 minute—do not boil to avoid curdling.
  7. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve immediately over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a richer flavor and more tenderness.
  • Swap chicken for beef strips for a classic beef stroganoff.
  • Add spinach or peas for extra vegetables.
  • Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill add brightness at the end.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of broth.
  • Not suitable for freezing due to sour cream separation.
