Tips:

  • Use a flavorful cut of chicken, such as boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use a rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy meal.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from steaming instead of browning.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio will work well.
  • Don't be afraid to add some chopped fresh herbs to the sauce, such as parsley, dill, or chives.
  • Serve the chicken stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

This lightened-up chicken stroganoff is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It's perfect for a quick and easy dinner that the whole family will love. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and rich. Serve it over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
