Variations

I sometimes use chicken thighs for extra juiciness
For a low-carb version, I serve it over cauliflower mash or steamed vegetables
A dash of Worcestershire sauce can add an extra layer of flavor
For a gluten-free option, I use cornstarch instead of flour

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
When reheating, I gently warm it on the stove or microwave with a splash of broth to keep the sauce creamy
I don’t recommend freezing it, as the sour cream can separate

FAQs

What can I serve instead of egg noodles?

I often use rice, mashed potatoes, or even cauliflower rice for a lighter option.

Can I skip the mushrooms?

Yes, but I find they add a great earthy depth to the dish. You can substitute with zucchini or bell peppers if preferred.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, I use a dairy-free sour cream alternative when I need to avoid dairy.

Can I make it ahead of time?

I prefer making the sauce fresh, but I sometimes cook the chicken and chop the veggies in advance to save time.

What other herbs work well in this dish?

I sometimes add a pinch of thyme or tarragon for a slightly different flavor profile.

Conclusion

This One Pan Chicken Stroganoff is a go-to in my kitchen. It’s easy, creamy, and packed with flavor—everything I need for a satisfying meal without the fuss. I hope it becomes a favorite in your home too.
