My Chicken Stroganoff

I love cooking and eating Beef Stroganoff. But I have been meaning to come up with a Chicken Stroganoff recipe…and this is it!

It cam out great and was relatively easy to make. No canned soup by the way!

Try to use a strain less steel skillet as the benefit from the fond (little browned bits from sautéing) really amps up the flavor.

I sued boneless breasts although I am anxious to try boneless thighs next time.

This recipe will serve about 4.

Ingredient:

• 1 (8 ounce) boneless chicken breast

• Kosher salt and black pepper

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup (1 large) shallot, halved and thin sliced

• 6 ounces of white mushrooms, 1/4 inch slice

• 2 large cloves garlic, peeled, thin sliced

• 2 tbsp flour

• 1/4 cup dry sherry

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1 cup beef broth

• 2 tsp Worcestershire

• 2 tsp Dijon mustard

• 1/4 cup sour cream

• Chopped parsley

Directions:

1 – Cut chicken into 2 inch strips then season with salt.

2 – Heat a large stainless steel skillet over medium high heat and add 2 tbsp of olive oil. When the oil is hot add the chicken and cooked until well browned. Flip and brown the other sides. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.

3 – Lower heat to medium and and add 2 tbsp of unsalted butter. When the butter has melted add the sliced mushrooms and the sliced shallots and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms have begin to brown. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

4 – Add the sliced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the flour and stir in, cook about 1 minute.

5 – Add the sherry and stir until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the stocks and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 3-4 minutes.

6 – Add the Worcestershire and the Dijon and stir to combine. Cook another 1 minutes.

7 – Turn the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

8 – If necessary, add a little cream to thin out the sauce.

9 – Serve over buttered egg noodles or white rice and garnish with chopped parsley.
