This Chicken Stroganoff is made from simple ingredients, but is packed full of flavour. A super easy mid-week meal.
This super easy meal is a twist on the classic, beef stroganoff. Made with beautiful chicken tenderloins and a flavoursome sauce, my Chicken Stroganoff is such a comforting mid-week meal. For another delicious chicken and pasta meal, be sure to give my Creamy Fettuccine with Chicken Bites a go.
Ingredient notes:
- Chicken: If you don't have tenderloins, you could easily use chicken breast or boneless chicken thighs instead.
- Smoked paprika: The key ingredients are the smoked paprika and Worcestershire sauce, they give the sauce the authentic stroganoff flavour.
- Mushrooms: The mushrooms are pretty essential too! I use white button mushrooms but you can used whatever you have to hand.
How to make Chicken Stroganoff:
Cook pasta according to packet instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Add olive oil to large non-stick pan and cook onion over a medium heat for a few minutes. Add in the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes longer. Add the chicken tenderloins and brown for two minutes on each side.
Make a space in the centre of the pan and melt the butter, sprinkle over the flour and stir together. Cook off the flour - stirring for one minute. Sprinkle over paprika and stir through the onions, mushrooms and chicken. Pour in the stock and add the Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. Simmer for five minutes, stirring when needed until the chicken is cooked through. Season well with salt and pepper.
Stir through sour cream and cook until heated through. Serve immediately on top of the hot pappardelle pasta and garnish with chives and extra paprika.

Recipe FAQs:
Sure thing. This meal is traditionally made with a wide, flat pasta such as pappardelle or fettuccine. But feel free to serve it on your favourite pasta
Absolutely. Just slice the chicken breast into thin strips to ensure even cooking.
To make this dish dairy-free, use a plant-based butter and a dairy-free alternative to sour cream (like coconut cream or a dairy-free sour cream substitute).

Have read recipe which says 1 cup stock but your picture shows a stock cube. Can this be dissolved into 1 cup of hot water.
VJ cooks says
Hi Pali, yes the stock cube is dissolved in one cup of boiling water.
Amanda says
What could I use instead if I don’t like the look of curdled sour cream when re heating?
VJ cooks says
Regular cream?
