A Classic Comfort Dish
This chicken stroganoff is one of those recipes 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 and everyone loves it! And if mushrooms aren’t your thing, you can just leave them out, or replace them with a favourite vegetable like green beans or broccoli.
Perfect for weeknights
This dish is simple to make and quick to get to the table (ready in about 1 hour), making it perfect for weeknights. But it’s also a great weekend dish with a glass of red wine!
Easy Stroganoff Chicken Recipe Tips
- CHICKEN: I prefer to use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. But you can also use boneless skinless chicken breasts, chicken cutlets, chicken filets or even turkey filets.
- MUSHROOMS: These are optional. I know not everyone likes mushrooms. You can replace them with broccoli.
- NOODLES: Wide egg noodles are best with this dish because they are perfect for holding rich, creamy sauces. Pappardelle noodles are a great option too.
- LEFTOVERS: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Dinner Menu Suggestions
Serve this chicken stroganoff over egg noodles, and with a green side like green beans, peas, or or broccoli. A side salad like a Caesar salad is also a great option.
