Easy Chicken Stroganoff

So has everyone settled in nicely with the back to school and work routine?  I always find September to be such an adjustment for everyone…the kids are adjusting to new classes, all of the extra curricular activities have started up and the homework routine has begun.  This means everyone is tired, including me.  So dinner time can be a challenge because we’re struggling with routine and we’re all strapped for time, but dinner doesn’t have to be a stress!

Have no fear, I’m here to help you with dinner!  I’ve got a tonne of recipes that can be made in less than one hour, and so does Chicken.ca (I use this resource A LOT).  And today I’m sharing one of my tried and true, go-to dinner recipes.  Easy Chicken Stroganoff.  This is one of those dinners that I go to when it’s 4:00 in the afternoon and I’m stressing because I don’t know what to make for dinner.  I almost always have the ingredients on hand, so this dish makes an appearance quite often around here. It’s easy and quick to put together, it’s healthy and kids love it!  And if mushrooms aren’t you or your kids thing, you can just leave them out, or replace them with a favourite vegetable like green beans or broccoli.

You can get this dinner on your table in less than 1 hour!  It’s creamy, comforting and so delicious.  What’s not to love about that?

 Serve it up with a side salad or green veggie and dinner is served!  And here’s a tip too – this recipe makes a large portion so we often pack it in the kids lunches the next day!  I love double duty dinners!
