• ⅛ teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Stroganoff Sauce:

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 lb. white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• ⅔ cup full-fat sour cream
• Fresh chopped Italian parsley for garnish

Preparation:

This Creamy Chicken Stroganoff is a comforting and flavorful dish perfect for a cozy dinner. Here’s how to make it:

1. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Slowly stir in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue cooking over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Combine and Serve: Turn the heat to low and gently stir in the sour cream. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Warm the chicken through for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped Italian parsley and serve immediately over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort meal.
