4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour for coating
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
- 1 10.5 ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 ¼ cups half-and-half cream
- 1 1 ounce package dry onion soup mix
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon browning sauce optional
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup sour cream
- ⅛ cup chopped green onion optional, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Place the flour in a shallow dish or bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, stirring to combine. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Sear the Chicken:
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted and hot, add the coated chicken breasts. Sear each piece until golden brown on all sides. This process will not fully cook the chicken but will provide a desirable color and flavor.
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced mushrooms, condensed cream of chicken soup, half-and-half cream, dry onion soup mix, parsley, minced garlic, browning sauce (if using), and ground nutmeg. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Simmer the Chicken:
- Pour the prepared sauce over the seared chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 1 hour. This slow cooking method will enhance the tenderness of the chicken and meld the flavors together.
Incorporate the Sour Cream:
- Once the chicken has cooked thoroughly, stir in the sour cream. Heat the mixture through without bringing it to a boil to prevent the sour cream from curdling.
Garnish and Serve:
- If desired, top the Chicken Stroganoff with chopped green onion for added flavor and presentation. Serve hot over cooked noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
