Chicken Stroganoff


  • Kosher salt
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 sm onion, chopped
  • 4 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 1/4 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp  all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika, plus more for topping
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 c chicken or mushroom broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 c sour cream, plus more for topping
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley


Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, then drain.

Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until slightly soft, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the chicken, flour, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until the chicken browns, about 3 minutes.

Add the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a gentle simmer; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Continue simmering gently until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 more minutes.

Divide the noodles among plates. Top with the chicken mixture, parsley, some sour cream and paprika.
