Preparing the dish

If serving this with rice or pasta, get them cooking before you start the stroganoff, so everything is done about the same time 😉

Using cooked and shredded chicken makes this quick and easy. When chicken goes on sale at a stock up price, a great tip is to buy an extra package and boil it up. Once it’s cooled, pick the meat off of the bone and freeze it into dinner-size portions. Cooked chicken thaws incredibly fast which makes it perfect for weeknight meals.

We love using baby bellas because they have great flavor and an almost meat-like texture. But, of course, you can use any kind of mushroom you like or leave them out altogether.

The paprika, Worcestershire, Dijon, and thyme give the sauce a unique and delicious flavor! And no stroganoff is complete without a big spoonful of sour cream stirred in at the end. I suggest starting with 1/4 cup and adding more to your liking. We LOVE sour cream, so we add the full 1/2 cup. You can also serve extra on the side.

Pepper also goes really well with the flavors of stroganoff, so we add a healthy amount. If you don’t love black pepper, just add less. Keep in mind that the Dijon mustard will also add a little bit of spiciness.

As always, we recommend using a good quality LOW-sodium chicken stock. It makes any homemade sauce or gravy so much better! Low-sodium stock is a must. Some brands are incredibly salty and can ruin your dish.
