Ingredient Notes

  • Chicken: I like to use boneless chicken thighs. But if you prefer chicken breasts those work too just be careful not to overcook them.
  • Mushrooms: Brown cremini mushrooms, or white button mushrooms.
  • Stock: Use chicken stock or chicken broth.
  • Worcestershire sauce: Do not leave this out.
  • Sour cream: Use full fat.
  • Pasta: You can really use any pasta with chicken stroganoff. I prefer extra wide egg noodles. Whatever you choose just make sure your cook your pasta al dente.

It has a creamy sour cream sauce made with chicken stock thickened with flour. Buttery mushrooms, tender chicken, and pasta, is an easy dinner any night of the week.

Freeze the sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Heat in a skillet until heated through then whisk in the sour cream and fold in the freshly cooked pasta.
