Today, I have a variation for you on the traditional stroganoff. You make this Paprika Chicken Stroganoff with chicken instead of the usual beef.  It also includes paprika  and tomato paste which gives the sauce a deep red color and added flavor. It really is a fun change from the usual. I love stroganoff and am excited to have this version to add to my collection.

Its starts with tossing some cubed chicken with the paprika, salt and pepper. Then sprinkle flour on top of the chicken and toss to coat.

You want to heat some olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook it until it’s golden brown on each side. This will take about 5 minutes. You don’t need to worry about the chicken is fully cooked. It will finish later. Remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate and set aside.

Now using the same skillet, you add a little more oil the pan and stir in the onions and mushrooms.

You want to cook this until the onion is translucent and mushrooms are brown. This should take about 5 minutes. Then add in some garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

It’s time now to deglaze the pan with a little chicken broth and loosen any bits from the bottom of the pan. Next comes some tomato paste. Whisk until that is combined, then add the remaining chicken broth and a bay leaf.

Once that is all combined, it’s time to add the chicken back into the skillet. Bring it all to a simmer over and cook for baout 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.

Last you mix in some sour cream and cook for about 2-3 minutes more minutes. If the sauce isn’t thick enough, you can mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1-2 tablespoons cold water. Then add the slurry to the skillet, whisking to combine. Give the mixture another 2-3 minutes to thicken. Just serve over hot noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
• ▢ 1 Tbsp sweet paprika or regular paprika
• ▢ 1 tsp salt
• ▢ black pepper to taste
• ▢ 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• ▢ 2 Tbsp olive oil plus more if needed
• ▢ 1 medium yellow onion diced
• ▢ 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• ▢ 3 cloves minced garlic
• ▢ 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
• ▢ 3 Tbsp tomato paste
• ▢ 1 bay leaf
• ▢ ¼ cup light sour cream
• ▢ 12-16 oz hot cooked egg noodles for serving
• ▢ Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

 

• In a shallow dish, toss the cubed chicken with the paprika, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour on top of the chicken and toss to coat.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until rippling and hot. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden brown on each side, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked. It will finish later in the dish. Pour chicken from the skillet on to a plate and set aside.
• Add a little more oil the pan, if needed, and stir in the onions and mushrooms. Cook until the onion is translucent and mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
• Pour in about 1/4 cup of the chicken broth into the skillet to deglaze the pan and loosen any bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Stir in the tomato paste and whisk to combine. Then add the remaining chicken broth and the bay leaf, stirring well.
• Add the chicken back into the skillet and simmer over medium-low to medium heat, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-6 minutes.
• Mix in the sour cream and cook for about 2-3 minutes longer. If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1-2 tablespoons cold water. Add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering mixture in the skillet, whisking quickly to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
• Serve over hot noodles and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serves 4-6.
