Creamy Chicken Stroganoff with Mushrooms

Succulent Chicken in a Rich Mushroom Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into strips
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 lb (250g) mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
• 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
4. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Bring to a gentle simmer, then return the chicken to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
5. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
