Instructions

Cook the Egg Noodles

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender, about 5 minutes.

Make the Sauce

Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Slowly add chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and allow to thicken for about 3-5 minutes.

Stir in sour cream, paprika, and season with salt and pepper.

Combine the Ingredients

Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine. Allow everything to heat through, then serve over the cooked egg noodles.

Storage and Reheating

If you find yourself with leftovers, you're in luck! Chicken Stroganoff stores beautifully in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. When you're ready to enjoy it again, reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth to loosen the sauce if needed.

For longer storage, consider freezing the stroganoff. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm it on the stovetop or in the microwave, ensuring it's heated through before serving.

Variations to Try

Experimenting with different variations of Chicken Stroganoff can keep your meals exciting. For a healthier twist, try using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. This substitution maintains the creaminess while reducing calories and adding protein. Additionally, using whole wheat egg noodles can enhance the dish's nutritional profile.

If you're looking to spice things up, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce for an extra kick. You can also incorporate different herbs, such as thyme or dill, to personalize the flavor to your liking.
