1283. Chicken Stroganoff

Stroganoff is usually made with veal or beef, but with the nothing-is-ever-good-enough-as-is trend engulfing the world, you just know multiple versions, variations, and interpretations of the dish had to pop up. This version uses chicken, which gives it a lighter feel than traditional beef, but the cream and sour cream makes up for it. Scrumptiously delicious, be aware this is not diet food.
We like to have our stroganoff alongside some rice, but noodles or pasta are also popular accompaniments. Traditional recipes might use less mushroom than MCW's, but for us here more mushroom is more.

Ingredients:

500g chicken breast thinly sliced into strips
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
1 onion finely chopped
500g mushrooms thickly sliced
1 garlic clove minced
1 Tbsp flour
1 cup broth
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper



Method:

Place a large deep pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp oil and once oil is very hot, add thinly sliced chicken strips in a single layer, cooking 1 minute per side without stirring. Cook until until just browned and no longer raw. Sear chicken in 2 batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Add 2 Tbsp butter, chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Saute 6-8 minutes or until liquid has evaporated and onions and mushrooms are soft and lightly browned.
Add 1 minced garlic clove and saute 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 Tbsp flour and saute another minute stirring constantly.
Pour in 1 cup  broth, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan then add 3/4 cup whipping cream and simmer another 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Stir a few tablespoons of the sauce into 1/4 cup of sour cream to temper it so the sour cream doesn’t curdle then add it to the pan while stirring constantly.
Stir in 1 Tbsp Worcestershire, 1/2 tsp dijon mustard, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, or season to taste and continue simmering until sauce is creamy. Return the chicken with any accumulated juices back to the pan and bring just to a simmer or until chicken is heated through.
