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.
