Speedy Chicken Stroganoff

Bon Appetit's weeknight stroganoff — thin-cut chicken breasts seared golden, then simmered with cremini mushrooms, white wine, and a silky creme fraiche-Dijon sauce that never breaks. Ready in under an hour; serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 4 small thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lb total)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 7 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup creme fraiche
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • Chopped parsley, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Heat 3 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high; working in 2 batches and adding more oil as needed, cook the chicken in a single layer until golden brown underneath, about 5 min, then turn and cook until nearly cooked through, 2-3 min. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Increase heat to high; add 2 Tbsp oil and the mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed until golden, about 5 min. Stir, season lightly with salt, and continue cooking until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are deep golden, 5-8 min more. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium; add the remaining 2 Tbsp oil, the onion, and garlic; season and cook until softened, 3-4 min. Add the wine and simmer until almost evaporated, 1-2 min. Add the flour and paprika; cook, stirring constantly, 30-60 sec. Gradually pour in the broth, bring to a rapid simmer, and cook until the sauce lightly coats a spoon, about 3 min.
  4. Reduce heat to low; add the creme fraiche, butter, Dijon, Worcestershire, and 1/2 tsp salt; cook, stirring, until the butter melts and emulsifies, about 2 min. Return the chicken and mushrooms to the pan and baste with the sauce until warmed through, about 1 min. Top with parsley and serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
