How to Make Chicken Stroganoff

Step 1: Cook the Noodles

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and then transfer the cooked noodles to a bowl and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

1. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season both sides all over with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Sprinkle the chicken all over with flour and gently press it on so it sticks.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and then add some oil once hot. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom.
4. Flip it over and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean chopping board and allow it to rest before slicing.

Step 3: Make the Gravy

1. Turn up the temperature to medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until they start to soften and brown. Next, add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute or 2.
2. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, a bit at a time, and deglaze the pan by scraping the brown bits up from the bottom and stirring well.
3. Add the cream and stir to mix, cooking for about 5 minutes until it begins to thicken up.
4. Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the sour cream, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.

Step 4: Assemble and Serve

1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes or slice into strips.
2. Add the chicken and cooked noodles to the skillet, then gently stir and toss to coat in the sauce.
3. Serve garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
