Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season them with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms and Onions
In the same skillet, add more butter if needed. Sauté sliced mushrooms and diced onions until they are softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4: Add Garlic and Seasonings
Stir in minced garlic, thyme, and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5: Make the Sauce
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and stir until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer, allowing it to thicken.
Step 6: Incorporate Sour Cream
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until well combined.
Step 7: Return Chicken to the Skillet
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, stir to coat in the sauce, and heat through.
Step 8: Serve
Serve the chicken mushroom stroganoff over your choice of noodles, rice, or even mashed potatoes.
