Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 12 ounce egg noodles

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Season the Chicken: In a medium bowl, season the bite-sized chicken pieces evenly with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and dried thyme.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
