Pasta
Chicken
- 1 ½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 cup yellow onion (diced)
- 8 ounce brown mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 teaspoons garlic (minced)
Other Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Cook the Egg Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles to al dente according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Season the Chicken: In a medium bowl, season the bite-sized chicken pieces evenly with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and dried thyme.
- Brown the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken pieces in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook about 3 minutes per side, allowing them to brown well without stirring. Cook in batches if necessary. Once browned and no longer pink, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the diced onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking until softened, roughly 4 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, all-purpose flour, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and lump-free. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and onions.
- Simmer: Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine Chicken with Sauce: Return the browned chicken pieces to the skillet. Stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce is creamy.
- Serve: Plate the cooked egg noodles and spoon the chicken stroganoff evenly over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting meal!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth if possible.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer or add a slurry of flour and water.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
