Equipment

  • Large deep skillet
  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water (240ml)
  • ½ cup sour cream (120ml)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (15g) or gluten-free flour
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon (10g)
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika (1g)
  • 1 pound ground chicken (450g) 93%
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (1.5g)
  • black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup chopped onion (75g)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (15g)
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (225g) sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (5ml)
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (8g) for garnish
  • pasta egg noodles or high-fiber pasta, veggie noodles, or gluten-free noodles, extra for serving
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (1.5g)
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start by browning the ground chicken in a large deep skillet over medium heat. You will know it is ready when it is no longer pink and starts to get a nice golden color. Make sure to break it into small pieces while cooking for even results.
  • Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring frequently until they soften and smell heavenly. This usually takes about five minutes. Watch out for burning; you want them tender, not blackened.
  • Mix the flour, chicken bouillon, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and some water in a blender until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pan, letting it thicken as it cooks. It should look creamy and coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thin, let it simmer a little longer.
  • Stir in the sour cream and fresh thyme once the sauce has thickened. You will notice a richer flavor developing. Do not rush; let the sauce heat through without boiling to keep that creamy texture intact.
  • Toss your choice of cooked pasta into the pan with the chicken and sauce, mixing well to coat everything evenly. It should look inviting. If you prefer your pasta not soggy, avoid letting it sit too long in the sauce.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a pop of freshness. It will brighten your dish and elevate the flavors. Serve it warm for an inviting meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.

Notes

Storage Tips: Chicken Stroganoff will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Expert Tips: If the sauce seems too runny, allow it to simmer for an extra 5 to 10 minutes to thicken naturally. When cooking the chicken, cutting it into smaller pieces ensures even cooking throughout the dish. For extra flavor, try adding an additional tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and tasting before serving. If opting for ground chicken, select a lean variety to create a lighter version that still satisfies without sacrificing taste. When using fresh herbs, add them just before serving for a burst of flavor without losing their potency during cooking.
Reheating Instructions: Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat until warm, about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
