Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff is a comforting, flavorful dish that brings together tender pieces of chicken breast, hearty mushrooms, and a luscious sour cream sauce. This recipe is inspired by the classic Russian beef stroganoff, but uses chicken for a lighter, quicker meal that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner while still feeling special enough for guests. The mushrooms add earthy depth, while onions and garlic deliver a savory, aromatic base. A splash of white wine and chicken broth creates a well-rounded sauce, thickened with a touch of flour and made silky smooth with sour cream. Fresh parsley is stirred in at the end for a burst of color and freshness. Serve this creamy stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up every bit of the delicious sauce. It’s a satisfying dish that appeals to both adults and kids, offering complete comfort and rich flavors in every bite. Leftovers heat up well, making it a great choice for meal-prep too.
