For the Stroganoff:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

- 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
Season chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lightly dredge them in flour, shaking off excess.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
Sauté the mushrooms and onions for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Make the Sauce:
Stir in chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Combine and Finish:
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer for 2 minutes to warm through.
Remove skillet from heat and stir in sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve:
Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a hearty and delicious meal.
Notes
- For extra richness, use heavy cream instead of sour cream.
- Swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for an additional layer of flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
