Making It Your Own (Swaps & Ideas)
Feel free to mix up the recipe by using different proteins, like beef or even tofu for a vegetarian option. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
How We Love to Serve It
We love to serve Chicken Stroganoff over a bed of cooked egg noodles or fluffy rice. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley on top adds a nice touch. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
A Few Tips For Success
Make sure the chicken is sliced thinly for even cooking. Stir the mixture as it simmers to prevent sticking and ensure a smooth sauce. For a deeper flavor, you can simmer the broth with herbs for additional taste before adding the cream.
Saving Some For Later
Chicken Stroganoff stores well in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply warm it gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving again. I recommend storing it without the noodles or rice to keep them from becoming mushy.
