This super easy homemade chicken stroganoff recipe is warm and comforting.A nice variation to the classic Beef Stroganoff, perfect for a weeknight meal that the whole family will love. I love to serve it with a side of my No Knead Artisan Bread and a crispy green salad or a side of green beans.

Why this recipe works

It is loaded with tender chicken, mushrooms, and a super creamy sauce like my Cajun Chicken and Sausage Pasta or my Skillet Chicken with Garlic Cream Sauce. Chicken stroganoff is a delicious, easy-to-make, and nutritious dish that is the perfect quick dinner for any occasion, whether you're cooking for yourself or for a group of friends or family members.

Ingredient Notes

  • Chicken: I like to use boneless chicken thighs. But if you prefer chicken breasts those work too just be careful not to overcook them.
  • Mushrooms: Brown cremini mushrooms, or white button mushrooms.
  • Stock: Use chicken stock or chicken broth.
  • Worcestershire sauce: Do not leave this out.
  • Sour cream: Use full fat.
  • Pasta: You can really use any pasta with chicken stroganoff. I prefer extra wide egg noodles. Whatever you choose just make sure your cook your pasta al dente.

Recipe Tips

  • The brown bits on the bottom of the pan from cooking the chicken are called fond. It gives the sauce that delicious flavor.
  • Cook the chicken in batches or else the chicken will steam and not be able to get that golden brown color.
  • As the stroganoff sits it will begin to thicken and absorb into the noodles.

What is chicken stroganoff sauce made of?

It has a creamy sour cream sauce made with chicken stock thickened with flour. Buttery mushrooms, tender chicken, and pasta, is an easy dinner any night of the week.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I recommend making the chicken and sour cream gravy and storing it in a container until ready. Then toss in your freshly cooked pasta and serve!

What can I use in chicken stroganoff instead of sour cream?

Sour cream is usually the preferred choice you can use plain greek yogurt as a substitute.

Can I freeze chicken stroganoff?

Yes, you can freeze chicken stroganoff sauce without the sour cream. Sour cream doesn't freeze well and will separate during the thawing process. Freeze the sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Heat in a skillet until heated through then whisk in the sour cream and fold in the freshly cooked pasta.
