Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) chicken breasts, sliced
Vegetables:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup sour cream
Serving Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) egg noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare aromatics by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onions and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Transfer sautéed aromatics to slow cooker. Add sliced chicken breasts, mushrooms, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Gently mix ingredients to ensure even distribution.
- Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Chicken should become tender and fully cooked, easily shreddable with a fork.
- Thirty minutes before serving, stir in sour cream until well incorporated. Replace lid and allow sauce to warm through, creating a creamy consistency.
- During final cooking stage, prepare egg noodles according to package instructions, typically 7-10 minutes. Drain noodles and set aside.
- Plate stroganoff over prepared egg noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and subtle herbal notes.
- Serve immediately while warm, allowing diners to enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of this hearty dish.
Notes
- Customize meat choices by swapping chicken with turkey, beef, or plant-based protein for diverse dietary needs.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium chicken broth and monitoring salt quantities during seasoning.
- Elevate creaminess by experimenting with Greek yogurt or cashew cream as alternative sour cream substitutes for dairy-free preferences.
- Create a gluten-free version by replacing egg noodles with zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or gluten-free pasta alternatives.
